Actually I have been road racing (SCCA) for 9 years now. Trail braking? You are almost always slightly on the brakes as you enter a turn, it usually helps the car rotate initially through the turn. If not, you probably didn't carry enough speed into the turn, so you are probably going too slow anyway. The only other time, is if you are in a momentum class, and sometimes it is better to brake early so you can attempt to put the foot on the gas earlier. Also depends on the situation (trying to outbrake a competitor).
