and for good measure, first time ive ever had white castle. lol

 

There is a track that has the same kind of deal near Houston...I read about it a long time ago..... Something like a Lotus7 type kit car with boosted Vortec V6 power would be a real hoot on a track like that.

 

Looks like you went to navy pier in that 3rd pick. I'm glad you had fun while you were in town, but I sure am jealous. I've been trying to save up for their annual public driving lessons, thats about the only thing affordable there.

 

More weight at the nose means less load at the back, so that's a recipe for oversteer. That's the main reason why full-force braking is best done in a straight line. Ideally speed gets scrubbed before turn-in, then power is gradually applied to keep the car set and steady through the turn.

Imagine every vehicle has three strings, each named Acceleration, Brake and Cornering, and that tugging on one means you can do less of the other two. You can't pull on all three at the same time and expect good results - it's always going to be a compromise. (Got this from a book called "Speed Secrets.")

By extension, it also means "trail-braking" (braking mid-bend) requires a pretty gentle push on the middle pedal and not a lot of steering lock applied. Anything more and your tires get overwhelmed.

 

I don't remember how it came about that I close the throttle and apply momentary pressure to the rear brake on motorcycles being ridden at high speed into a curve and as I would bank into a chosen line gradually crank the throttle open again accelerating to a point that the rear wheel was edging on the limit of adhesion and maintain that setting until exiting the curve..... I do the same in the fit but if there is too much or too little pressure in the rear tire I find out real fast.... Wider offset wheels make a big difference in eliminating rear body roll.
