That was such a bummer! Not only did that motor sound sweet it was sickening fast!
You scared me during practice when you went off the track.
Yes, I do brake... but before the corners as I am going in. And I always find a braking point, like a tire, cone, or light pole . Anything to give me ideal when I need to start breaking. If I go real wide into the corner, I will past the braking point just a bit. If I take the corner on the inside, I will brake just before my breaking point.
Driving race cars I would do the same thing, someones truck in the pits, a sponsor sign anything to keep me from over driving the corners.
Practice laps are priceless, when I make practice laps I am not just cruising around....I am doing my homework.
Having the track here is a huge advantage, the track is open to MB's anytime. I have taken advantage of this with lot's and lot's of hours on the track.
