Excessive Breaking?

voltdr · 02-28-2017, 09:09 PM

In 2007, at the Winter Nationals, R2, SC, I was fortunate that the guy (Guy Agauyo) in the right lane got on the brakes (he won that round) but crashed a borrowed race car, just behind me. In reality, if this decision will make at least one person dial their car more honestly and not have to be so hard on the brakes as to lose control, then all is good. We all like to think we are under control while braking at 125-185 mph. More likely, we are just lucky.

Last time I will comment I promise, I don't want sound stupid but if this is a DQ hundreds should of been gone before him!
I agree if you got a maniac out there dragging brakes and sticking his nose in the stripe he should be out! I run 112 mph against cars as fast as 150 so far and I grab the brake on almost every run. I use my throttle alot too, but I shouldn't have to go to the next race of fear of being tossed if this is what they are ruling excessive.
I don't see anything wrong with what he did at all and it might be time for some y'all to hit the Rec softball league.
