Umm...what? I would say the fastest way to brake from that kind of speed is with the BRAKES. But if it was me driving, I'd apply brakes for the desired speed I'd like to take the turn and then put it in the desired gear. Depending on how I want to accelerate out of the turn I generally use 1 gear for every 10's of mph I'm going. So if I'm slowing down to 20mph and I want to quickly accelerate out of the turn I'd go to 2nd gear. Once I get into the higher mph if I want to accelerate quickly out of the turn I use -1 gear for every 10 mph (this is just regular street driving btw). So if I'm going 50 mph then I put it into 4th gear. But that's just a rule I use for myself. Like that other guy said, you should probably have someone show you in person.
