Hey John you get extra points for looking out the back window I have done that a few times last season !
I have noticed and have been "WORKING" on going in deeper and WISER before I brake.
I have stopped trying to set the land speed record between turns. I am trying to trail brake and not really get off the gas too much to keep rpm and monentum up. Just break hard going in and ride the brake out while staying on the gas.
As I run the turn I can feel the rear of the car and with more or less brake pressure can rotate the car. When I want to rotate the car just tap on brakes the nose dives and she just go in "that chosen" direction between the cones.
I know sounds like BS "Feel the car" but I heard plenty of guys talk about it and just in my last two to three races I am comfortable with the car and my racing to feel its movements not just dodge cones like my first half of last years season.
I have also noticed by doing this I am able to stabilize the car sooner and not spin the front inside tire as much!
Our last three races were in the rain and this helped VERY much! I never ran better in our overall pax scores and the car was VERY stable and controllable even in the standing water on the course. I guess by spreading the the loads on the front tires over a longer peroid of time I did not surpase the available traction offered by the tires in the wet. I read someware that there is a theory about tire loading that did not make much sence to me 8 months ago but it know makes a little since.
