Can't help myself here.

Don't brake before 4 in a 44. Lift, look, turn, aim for the tub, go.

Watch all the high-powered cars recede in the mirrors.

Pretty much what I was told. But the high powered cars get closer in the windshield as well! Matt Marks taught me well. I thought I was fast through there in November. Yeeesh. That was nothing.

But T4 is also one of the most dangerous places at Summit. May not be worth it to push there during a DE. Maintaining a little safety cushion in the event that one of the air cooled guys spills oil down the chute or more likely one of our FEWC spills antifreeze might not be a bad idea. If you take T4 flat out once or twice, you know you can do it, so no harm in a little lift or tap. You can save the flat outs for races.
