Practical Application of Theory

[dReWpY]

i had a perfect example of this, went into a on ramp too hot and had to remember what i have been taught and not my natural instinct to cut the throttle, poured a lil throttle leaned it over, put trust in my tires and made it though, def didnt have chicken strips after that ride, but the last time i enter a ramp at >80 with out leathers on

Yep, had a similar situation in a corner. Car was coming opposite direction and I was starting to run wide. If it hadn't been for track time, I would have let off the throttle in fear and subsequently taken out the car and myself. Instead, I gave it a bit more gas and looked deeper through the turn. Could feel the rear wheel slipping just a bit, but I didn't panic, just kept moving through the turn. Yes, I was shitting bricks (I bet the cage driver was too), but made it through due to a little bit of training and forum reading. Thank god for track time...
