This has always been a problem as far as a black and white ruling. Excessive braking near the finish line can turn catastrophic in a heart beat. However, with skinnies on the front it doesn't take much to lock them up especially if your brake bias is off. Without a doubt, several racers have experienced this, locking up the fronts that is.

Locking up the rears first is harder to control .

A properly adjusted proportion valve helps that.

I have been warned at the scales that I smoked the tires at the finish line. Did not realize I had locked them up. Learned to be more careful.

She dialed 12.33 but they put up 13.33. I was on the starting line wondering what was going on. Very confused as to how the computer didn't default to 13.15.

79 Nanette Stein 754 Lindy Lindholm
E1 ****WINNER**** 0.000 12.364 105.61 -0.028 11.388 115.00
O/SA Dial: 13.33 (+/-): -0.966 I/SA Dial: 11.38 (+/-):-008
Qualified: #33 12.382 -0.768 #1 11.274 -1.026

Stein nails the tree with a perfect light and then breaks out by almost a second. Wrong dial?
Lindholm runs 0.008 to his dial for the win.

She dialed in slower than the O/SA index and if she staged the car was out...He went red but I don't think that matters.....

Just trying to figure out what happened...

Anybody know??????

Thanx,
Bob
