He doesn't have ABS, so he just locked it all up ("Both feet in!") and slid harmlessly down the road.

And since he properly de-clutched as well, he just selected 1st gear and motored on down the road, probably losing less than 2 seconds on that lap.

ABS has its virtues, but it's also a menace.

Nice driving.

That's for sure. I rarely get abs checking in on me, since I normally do the work it should be doing, but if it does trigger then I'm going way too damn fast for myself.
Can't wait to get some racing instruction time, at some point, for some practice to really learn and patent the habits of good brake control.

It took me a moment to decipher that plate.

I'm surprised that made it past the "censors." I'll bet they didn't understand it.
