I seem to, and try to, rarely get into the ABS on the track, unless its an oops situation. Last time I did, I'd picked up a lot of speed in the straight after exiting the entry corner perfectly, (well.. at least a lot better than previously) and didn't adjust my braking point. oops! LOL.. the instructor was also trying to apply the brakes, his right foot trying to put a hole in the floorboard. Darn.. missed the corner but kept all four on the track, barely. I think ABS is a great learning tool for where your threshhold braking point is, and where traction runs out. Topless is right... it tells you you're at the limit. Slow in, fast out..ain't it fun!
