Ok, I have been racing for a little over a year. And this year I really want to be competive because I will be attending a few bigger races. So Im trying to tackle each aspect of racing while getting better all the time. One thing Im really concerned with is using the actual brakes. I hear people talking about this all the time...braking zones, brake points, Ive tried this but I have mostly found that I just let my drag brake do the work and I just keep driving. Now that I really think about it, I guess using the actual brakes would I could go into the corner a little deeper, faster, and harder, and just "brake" later. But here comes my confusion. It seems whenever I have experimented with using my brakes, it brakes too hard and usually causes irratic handling and a serious loss of traction. I dont think I have my brakes set wrong, they dont lock my wheels ( thats what I was taught). So is braking like accelerating? Meaning that half brake is what I would normally be using or that gradual braking is what I should be doing to get the desired effect?!

Use your radio to turn down the amount of brakes that you have in order to keep the car from getting out of control.
