Default Re: Best braking method to scrub off .005-.01

Dial down one number. Sorry you left the door wide open. I've found that simply lifting on the accelerator loses basically nothing, as your momentum is already at max near the finish line. I've been of course not very sucessfully "rubbing" the brake with my left foot trying to close it up at the stripe.I watched the Moser Shootout at Martin Michigan and was amazed at the amount of excessive braking during the race, some cars had smoke some got a little out of shape. I'm not a big fan of "spiking" the brake at the finish line however I know it is common pracice among some racers. That's my take on it your results may vary. Joe
