Mike,

You are quite correct.

I find that I wish to be in the gear required right at the point that I need to pick up the throttle for corner exit.

I spent a lot of time in the early days locking up the rear due to improper timing of downshifts.

It took me many hours of track time to get it right.

But, something odd. Once you get it, it is like a bicycle.

You do not forget.
