I definitely need to get some datalogging to draw nice graphs!!!

Working with what I have now, I reviewed videos from this last season and I realized that my pivot-point, slowest part of corner, is turn-in after braking. I lost A LOT of ground to other riders, even the big-bikes. I make up that lost ground between turn-in and apex by getting on gas and passing them on exit of corner. But I could easily be 20-30ft ahead if I maintain more speed between turn-in and apex. Gonna work on that next.

Thanks for great article!
