Not to mention, you knew you were going to have to stop and work the brakes on the course. You were mentally prepared to do what was required the instant you needed to do it. On the road, that would not happen. You're going to be mentally drifting, or speeding up, or slowing down, or turning, or tuning the radio, or talking to the wife, or answering a "knock, knock" joke from the kid, or looking at a traffic light, or reading a street sign, or something else, when that kid runs out in front of your car and you realize you need to stop immediately. You aren't gonna have time and ABS is going to save that kids life. Bob
