lol... rpm's come back quicker. Loosing rpm's for a full lap... You
have no idea what you're talking about. Let me give you a hint: if a
driver brakes in the middle of racing during a restrictor plate race,
he's gonna loose a whole lot of positions. And they are tough to get
back.

You idiot, you have apparently never listened or watched a restrictor
plate race, and have no knowledge of the subject. Restrictor plate
cars DO take up to a lap to come back up to full speed. After a

And that's exactly why they DON'T apply the brakes. You're
contradicting yourself, again.

Try to follow along, you ignorant oaf. AGAIN, they use the brakes, as
opposed to lifting off of the throttle, because with restrictor
plates, if you are still shoving fuel/air mixture down it, the engine
will come back up to speed quicker than if you lift off of the
throttle. It's been said time and time again, some comentator mentions
it at least once in every plate race. I surprised you've never heard
it, so apparently you don't follow racing.

caution lap, it takes a COUPLE of laps to get back up to speed. That
is what to **** the restrictor plate is FOR, you idiot. And again, a
driver would RATHER use the brakes, as opposed to lifting the
throttle. Listen and learn. If you watch a plate race, you'll hear

And as has been pointed out to you but you refuse to learn, the only
time a driver will use the brakes during a restrictor plate race is to
avoid hitting someone or to slow down for the pit. They do not normally
apply the brakes when going into each turn, as is done in other types of
racing.

Wrong. Period. Daytona. many, many drivers will set the car in turn 3
(it's kina rough there) by tapping the brakes.

Daryl, or Benny etc. state at least once during the race, that they
use the brakes as opposed to lifting the throttle, and why.

Again, you hear someone say something and don't know how to apply it.
So, I'll ask you once again to put up or shut up. There are thousands
of web sites devoted to Nascar racing. Find just 2 reputable ones that
say during restrictor plate racing, the driver will use the brakes
"quite a lot" as you have claimed. If you can't do that, it's time for
you to shut up and stop displaying your ignorance to the world.

Steve

What a ****ing moron you are!!! You REALLY believe that they don't use
brakes??? Unbelievable!
