I went down the straight at about 105 and began slowing down, when I realized that I couldn't get the brakes to bite enough to slow me down enough thus there was no way as I was going to get down to the appropriate speed for the corner, which for me was about 40 mph (it's about a 100-110 degree turn) and unforunately I entered into the apex early, which through me wide and to the outside, where I promptly went into a skid. I recovered the skid (mostly, but was still pushing at the outside edge of the track and they have this bizarre concrete rumble strip and I had no choice but to try to drive over that, and that took whatever stability I'd recovered a millisecond prior to then and screwed it up causing a pretty wild spin across the track and leaving me in the mud. Upon entry into the mud, the brakes immediately began to smoke (steam) and wow! what a stench! Anyway, I just pulled back onto the track and away we went....
