I guess my error was not specifying that you do this ENTERING the corner, then release the clutch to accelerate out of the apex.

BTW I have never attended a track event, just tried this on the street
Never raced before but from what I know that would mean that you are braking while turning which your not suppose to do. You brake before the turn that way you can use all the tire grip for the turning not braking and turning.
