Braking technique advice

[Pittenger5]

Watching that vid, Im braking just an instant past the cones on the right side of the track

[Paul_E_D]

The cones on the right?! I don't think so... You've got a case of seriously inaccurate or non-existent markers.

[Pittenger5]

Im pretty sure thats where I brake, I dont know though unless Im on track

[Paul_E_D]

Negative! You would be straight up in the nascar wall if you tried to brake there. That's AFTER the little curb jump. 99 percent of people are FINISHED braking right there.

Maybe its the left cones then, I dont have a fucking clue, I cant remember, I just know when Im on the track.

In this vid you can hear the motor (kind of) and you can see the seams before the entry to 11 (seam... seam........ left cone/crack)
I'm hearing him roll off just after the 2nd crack
I then see Chris' fingers as he applies the brakes just after he rolls off
And then he then grabs a down shift at the cone on the left.

Scroll to 3:45. At this point in the race he's directly behind me so what I'm doing is pretty much exactly what he's doing. I actually pull on him a little bit through 11, but what I gain on him he makes right back up in 11a and 12.

QUOTE PAUL - When I cross it WOT, it's a big enough hit to light up my front end with a slapper!

Yea that seem becomes a legit 'hit' as you get going faster and faster.
