  1. Yes, you're right. I meant to say the turn point instead of the apex. Too much turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas has me forgetting. I thought my throttle roll on was after the turn point. I may need a clarification from what I've seen on tv. The racers look like they are slowing down through the turnpoint while they are quickly initiating there lean and then speeding up as they pass the midpoint of the turn. Will try to get the dvd as well. Tnx!!
  2. The races I've be watching show the racers starting to increase there speed after they've gone through about 50-60% of the corner. They initiate there turns at the apex while there still slowing down and then finally speed up (slowly) usually more than about 1/2 way into the turn as they are coming out of a full lean. I guess I was confused because I thought I was told to start to slowly increasing my speed or getting back on the throttle right after I turn on the apex, or at least that's what I remember. I remember trying to slow down before the apex (the yellow x's on the track) so I could get back on the throttle as soon as I committed my lean at the apex. I guess my question is should I be "slowing down" THROUGH the apex and lean and then engage the throttle toward the middle of the turn? Thanks!
