    Drivers Trail Brake or let it Roll?

    I ran dirt Latemodels for long time . Juse getting back into racing.Ran few races last year in modified. Running 2010 Pierce this year . Clamped Spring in front. R/R is Z-Link Still havent decided on that or 4 bar. The big difference I see is modifieds are really tryinng to up on the bars. So Trail braking seems to be important . Never done it so asking for tips. Do you let off about half throttle and use brake to turn car? or do u lift at all and just brake hard ?
    or can you try not useing brakes much at all and let the car role? I know driving in hard and slamming on brakes does not seem to work well on these cars.

    If you dumped the throttle on a 4 bar mod ,car will go side to side.Rolling in useing min brake is best..

      no as important w/ a clamped up car. The floated cars is where its more important. Trail braking is a useful tool. learn to use it, it takes years to master FYI
