But it may not happen!! The weatherman is calling for a 70% chance of rain and we have points races one and two for the coming weekend... Sunday looks a lot better,I wonder if they will have us do both races in one day? When they do that,I think you only get one TT and go 1/8th mile racing..It will be a crap shoot for sure..Since I have very limited time using a tranny brake,I am gonna footbrake it till I get some more seat time..

Try the trans-brake,I think you will adapt to it no problem.

Ted, don't be a wuss.

Drop the hammer on that T brake and let it eat.

It'll be the most fun you ever had.

Ted,
I am hoping for good weather for you.

Being an old time(er) footbrake racer, I would just footbrake the thing until you can get some test time behind the button.

Have fun either way, and good luck.
