When do YOU down shift??????

[Richard Hudgins]

Good Quote Racer 99.

I had a method when I went to new tracks to determine the braking points that really worked well for me.

I would go out and do about three laps to become familar with the track and go as quick as one would do for a endurance race.

Then I would do a couple of laps as quick as I felt was proper for a sprint race.

I would then go to the pits and we would check everything to prepare for another run.

Then I would go out and run a couple of laps to get temp in the tires.

And then on the very next lap, I would half my previous braking distances.

It would sometimes put me in the dirt, but most of the time it put where I needed to be.
