Last lap, tell your legs to shut up and go hurt peoples feelings. DO NOT think about how fast you are going into a corner. Unless you are going like 30+ mph on a 90 degree corner (you won't be), your tires will hold. Stay in your drops, keep a low center of gravity, you'll be fine. Trust your equipment and go win it, we need to see a race report after!
