What is the proper procedure for Slot moving to trail, I.E. speed brakes?

Thanks

The first thing you do is drop down to give 2 and 3 enough room to get in and as your dropping you just slightly tap your brakes to put you under #3. it takes alittle practice to end up where you want but its pretty easy once you get it down.

Thanks Jarhead for the advice, unofficially. I have been dropping power back to idle. This seems like a much better solution. I ended up slightly farther back than I have wanted to. I will try this as you are the slot king :D

Thanks guys for the reply. So what I'm hearing is a slide down and a tap of the brakes with perhaps no throttle changes.

Well now... there will be subsequent throttle changes, there always is! :wink: Although, at very few times would you need to make a change as drastic such as idling the throttle.

Just to be clear, I thought Jarhead's idea works much better than my "not sure exactly how to do it and will try it my way" idea. :D Still learning the proper techniques. Tried it and it worked out very well. I agree on the slight throttle changes. Thanks for the advice JH.
