Well sounds like you were doing better than me because I was getting smoked everywhere but the pits. Very few people passed me in the pitssnikwad;47333 wrote: Hahah, yeah T6 makes for some sweet passing, you can kinda carry it into T7 also.
Cats were smoking me on the T3 and T4 chicanes all day, and also on T5.
Damn it, does anyone have footage or photos from T1. I love T1, its so sick, I wanna see me thru there.

its not a matter of improving lap times............im not trying to talk down to you eitherPJZOCC17;49690 wrote: ^Since the original question was about a specific situation, and not about how to improve lap times, I'm wondering what the point is? The rear brake can be used to assist the bike with turn in and scrubbing speed in situations like the original post. I'm not an "A" rider, racer, or fastest in the "I" group, but I've done enough track days over the past few years to know what works for me and what doesnt. And, yes, I do know how to get the most out of my front brake.
This i agree with.crewnutz;49856 wrote: its not a matter of improving lap times............im not trying to talk down to you either
my point is if X rider can do X lap time in a race and not once touch the rear brake (even when working through traffic or having someone block his pass at the apex of a turn) it says something
most riders should be concentrating on other things rather than trying to use the rear brake....
sorry but most A riders dont even get the most from their front brakes.........no need to get defensive, its the truth
you can use the front brake at the apex of a turn.......you just have to be ever so gentle & smooth
No you don't, trust me opcorn:PJZOCC17;49690 wrote: And, yes, I do know how to get the most out of my front brake.
