Confidence in your equipment and setup leads to confidence in your abilities which allows you to relax which allows you to be smooth which allows you to be fast and enjoy the ride.

All absolutely true and spot on. I really really enjoyed the driving just following little Tommy McCarthy around the track…. I was relaxed - motions in the car smoothed out - car was stable… and it was FUN.

This is why I say I need to learn to drive. The CAR is far more capable than I.

Found this pretty old video of Chris Harris (who's reviews I like) driving a 2 Eleven…

Looks like there was some braking available in that spin?

A lot of racers either disconnect the ABS -- or they ditch the entire system for a dual master cylinder with a balance bar.

I have to say that I disconnected the ABS (you just disconnect the right front) and I drove up and down the street in front of my house. I couldn't make a stop of any kind without locking up at least one corner. I'll try the same thing once I pick it up with all the new shoes on it - and see what happens but if it's still locking up like it did - the ABS will be reconnected… and I'll take my chances on the spin.

Sounds like a plan. The dual w/ balance bar would deliver that a'la naturale feed back that us motorbikers like.
