I never thought of that - thanks!

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

You're only braking ONCE?!?  If I did that, I'd be eating Armco somewhere.  It
seems I brake at all the major curves, and even some of the minor ones...<g>
I'm at 3:23.xx, I think.  No, I don't know how to get to 3:11 either... :(

Nah, you -need- to brake a couple of times, unless you let go of the
throttle really early, but that won't do much good to your laptimes.
