Instructor, good deal. I'm tracking out as far as possible but I can still carry another 5-10 MPH through there, it's about getting off the brakes smoothly for me and not trying to scrub a bit of "extra" speed prior to turn-in. It seems crazy, but, by not trying that last .5 second braking makes the turn in faster but smoother (less "rocking" of the car coming off the brakes) the car takes a set better, and that means carrying more speed and being able to get on the throttle more/sooner. T9 is pretty much the same story--it's kind of a fight with myself to get it right but it's so much cleaner and more of a nice dance when I do.
I don't drive a ton in the winter either, so, maybe next spring/summer we'll meet up again.
