Yeah you can trail brake but that's not the spot to do it. Ken if you were in a slower car like a Miata you would only need a brake tap or a lift before the crest. Last year riding with Miatamoto, he didn't even bother with that and just stayed on the gas through there. Was a pucker moment the first time.
I tap. I can deal with losing .25 sec. in that section...
Miatamoto is a good driver in a prep car. That video is my well prep M3 on 275 Hoosier R6s.
I think level of car prep, driver skill and confidence level play a big part in carrying speed through any section.
Work into a comfort level. I agree with giving it up and driving it home.
M3 drivers are a pain in my ::Bum::

I'll be doing this hopefully. I'm 75% sure I'll be able to go, just really need someone to crash with for the weekend because I won't be able to afford a hotel if I go.
I have no problem crashing on the floor.
My car wants more than 2nd gear compettion, and that's why one of the wheels broke free. It was simply bored...Quote:

I much prefer to be accelerating up that hill, not trying to get slowed down before it all goes horribly awry...Quote:

I was just barely easing off a bit right before the car would unweight and then back into throttle to settle right before getting down into lower gear for uphill unwind. With more HP this prolly would have to be taken quite differently.
I remember that. You had just pulled me on the big straight. I was like WTF?!!!Quote:
