For instance, on the back straight a PIR I often will wait to pass until the front straight unless I have a really good jump coming into the back-side, esp. in the wet. Good decisions are key.
I completely agree that being safe is most important.

When I went to the Pro Drive school at PIR my instructor was just helping me with my line and technique, not so much how far to push my car. I felt I was pretty good at finding the safe limit back then, but I just need to be careful this time since I have more power than last time.

I am looking to get a new set of pads and possibly rotors as well as a full brake system flush with some new fluid. I have new wheels and tires too.
