Buttonwillow Raceway Data
[Figure 2] This data for two riders at Buttonwillow Raceway shows the more experienced rider (blue trace) reaching maximum braking force quicker as indicated by the middle blue line which depicts braking Gs. The red trace shows the less experienced rider was more submissive on the brakes and built braking force in a more gradual manner, as indicated by the less vertical slope. As a result, the rider had to stay on the brakes longer and had to grab more brake even after turn-in had been initiated in order to set his corner speed — as suggested by the second peak.
