Nope, front's now. But what sent me off track was getting too close to the backing plate. Car was stopping, just not at the rate it should have.

When I hit the brakes I knew instantly we were not going to make the corner, I told Carlyle (very calmly) "we are going off" he said (just as calmly) "ok" I put the wheel straight and once we got in the gravel I got back in the power so we wouldn't get stuck.

So, what you're saying is, with your ratio of on-track to off track time, you should have bought a Raptor instead?
