I’ll be at Sebring both days this weekend. Bringing rain tires! Hope to see you guys there.

Good seeing you again. Both me and eddie ended up with a low 2:32 on our last session. To make you feel better I was talking with the challenge cars and they usually run 2:07-2:08’s and today there couldn’t get under 2:13

Good to see you guys out there, and thanks again for the advice. I stayed right at 2:32 for two full days. Analyzing my data this week after work. Consistent, but not happy with overall lap time. I’m still babying the brakes due to close calls with disaster lately. But getting new ST Trophy kit put in tomorrow, and will definitely be able to shorten braking next time I’m out. I’m back out later this month with NASA.

Fastest I clock you in was a low 2:31. I had trouble trusting the brakes as well. My last session I just push the brakes down harder and it seems to bypass the abs kicking in. Upset I didn’t do that earlier in the day

Yeah 2:31 was my best. I think by biggest issue is the driver mod. Absolutely no reason I should be at 2:31 on slicks and aero. I ran that speed before all the mods. Frustrating. I did notice the impact of the heat and humidity. Car was panting. But hey, that’s why there’s next time! Back out there in a few weeks on my new brake setup. Hope to see you guys out there again soon.

Good point on driver mod! Been reading and watching videos on trail braking and braking in general. A big factor in trail braking is to ease in to the braking by applying firm but smooth pedal and then gradually release the pedal. Braking hard into a corner and then releasing the pressure quickly will upset the car especially at speed. The sayings are smooth in smooth out or smooth is fast and fast is smooth. The brake and gas pedals are not on off switches!

The Stomp Method isn't the fastest way of doing things. Stomping on the gas or brakes will get you into trouble.

Agree. I mumble “smooth is fast” under my breath while on track all the time, but heavy breaking doesn’t alway mean it’s not smooth. I’m working on my EOB (end of braking) timing. Ross Bentley has a lot of good videos on the subject. He suggests focusing on EOB as much if not more than beginning of braking. Takes trail braking to the next level mentally.
