[I was using 15+ HC Hoosiers, bumpy track, and full stiff rear bar!] Bumps + old tires did not instill any confidence to trail brake very deep. Eh, it's all excuses for the poor driving on my part...

Here is a video of a few laps in the 27s and 28s. The video does not reflect the true bumpiness of this track!
