hey question for you faster 17.5 guys. I'm just curious as to how much you use your brakes during races. I have been putting in very consistent laps, usually all within half a second of each other, but I seem to be about half a second/lap off the pace, which always translates to being on the tail end of what ever lap TQ is. When we go heads up for the mains, I usually hold my own, but when we are on our own clock, I feel like I'm just losing some time. I've never felt slow... just the lap times are not there.

Perfect example... this weekend I ran one qualifier and had 2 bobbles which added about 4 seconds total to my time. Rest of the time I was doing consistent 21.8-22.3 laps. Fast time 21.6. TQ that round was doing 21.0-21.5, fast lap 20.9. I might be off in the exact numbers, but this is pretty close and gives the idea.

The problem is obviously in the corners... but is it using the brakes so much that is hurting the corners?
