Absolutely the rules are pretty clear. That thing on the left is there to tighten that .01-.015, now when guys try and scrub a .10 in the last 60 feet, well that's when drama happens. Work on the dial!

If you are going to brake hard, practice at a track rental day when its safe, and your alone on the track. If you video it, then you can see what the effect is and if you are within the rules, and common sense.

The loss of control and the entering into the unforgettable "pre-crash" slowdown of time is best to be avoided, as sometimes you and car get lucky and get away unscathed, sometimes you walk away and your car takes the pain, and sometimes you don't get to walk away.

That said, who doesn't like to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at the stripe. Just use your head!
