Keith, I was talking to you saturday night about the whole 2nd thing, and I did discover the next day that second gear slows you down alot harder in the si than the lx, but on the last runs I tried to use my brakes less, and think that alot of the braking is just due to my lack of skill.

It's not a lack of skill, it's just knowing when to brake (if you need to)... have a safe speed entering the curve where you would not need to brake anywhere in the curve (just barely) and accelerate out of the curve. This is stated simply, but is an art
