How To Brake?

[landjet]

I've only been doing DE's for 4 years so I'm no expert. I do know that when I began I would slam on my brakes and brake more than I had to. One of my instructors worked with me on braking and got me to squeeze on the brake pedal firmly at the beginning of the brake zone and to ease out of heavy braking in order to concentrate on carrying more speed into the corner entry.

One thing I have learned about driving, it's like an onion. As you progress and get a feel for a skill, you peel a layer of experience off, and that reveals the next layer that you must concentrate on to master.
