Good thought Jay!

I wish that I had a throttle position sensor to say one way or the other because its really hard to know for sure exactly what I may have done or may not have done to induce the rear to come loose.

Things that I know for sure;

1. I got a great run out of Turn 1 so I came into Turn 2 about 4-5 mph faster than on a typical lap.
2. I know this because I was working specifically on carrying more speed thru Turn 1 and was using Turn 2 entry speed as the gauge as to how well I was getting through Turn 1.
3. The rear broke loose as soon as I started turn in at Turn 2.

However, it is very possible that I lifted off the throttle for a moment before turn in once I saw the high corner entry speed and that may have either caused or helped cause the rear end to get loose.

I'll have to repeat it and see what happens next time at Willow!
