98% of the people out there don't brake hard enough on the long tracks. on the conetrack it's often hard to brake in a perfectly straight line. so this problem shows its ugly head.

Oh I initially had problems with the rear end going crazy on braking.. but i learned to modulate the brakes, and played with the brake pad combo...
now in my miata I don't brake nearly as much anyway so yeah.. there is that..
each to their own I guess... lol
I used to be the queen of late braking on my 993 (a bad habit I picked up) and later learned it was a 'crutch' and meant I didnt' have as good of entry and exit speeds in the corners..
as I drive my miata, I continue to unlearn my bad habits I picked up from my former 993.... and so it goes... I hope to become a better driver as I continue to learn this new driving style.....
