i use the term trail braking as in rear only... sorry more the misenturpretation
the red light is hooked to my brake switch so other people into drift can see which technique i am using whether it be brake weight transfer, etc. it's used primarily as a learning/teaching tool. its nice, too, to watch video from head on and know where i used the brakes to make a run and learn from it.

I didnt think so. Late apex seemed faster to me. An early apex would put you still trying to rotate the car when that grass came up on the left. Much better to get the car rotated early and then get a big long straight through the stuff through the first wall of cones, brake, and enter the next one beacuse you'll be carrying too much speed.
and if a little dinky protege is carrying too much speed, so will your Cobra
