ABS on the Track

[racer_d]

While I understand the whole "threshold braking" concept and excecution (having been raised on NON ABS equipped cars, I see nothing wrong with the ABS engaging if conditions warrant it. Depending on the computer generation of the ABS, you may have no choice but to engage it to maximize your braking. Especially in bumpy brake zones- like Turn 1 and sometimes Turn 5 at Summit Point.

I know lots of folks preach "I never engage the abs at the track" but to me, about 99 % of them truly havent gotten the most from their brakes. ABS isn't a crutch, unless you let it become one. I prefer not to have the ABS engage (I find it distracting) but I like having it engage rather than smoking up and flatspotting a $200 tire.
