im not supporting e-driving tips.
go to an event and someone will show you. brushing up on your e-understanding isnt reallygoing to help.

I honestly can say I very rarely use my e-brake at events as I don't have enough power to barely get up to speed to initiate. I did use it a bunch at BHC when I went that one time, and that was cause I had to scrub like 30 mph for the hairpin and wasnt skilled enough to feint hard into it yet
. It is however good, like Erin and martymartymarty.net said, for holding angle on a longer stretch between corners.

I understand that, but just like the thread I started about shift lock, I'm trying to learn how everything works together, and what does what. That way when another event comes around I'll have a better foundation. Nobody ever explained Manji though, so idk what that is. haha

just practice clutch kicks, they can be your best friend.
and a manji is typically where you slide from side to side during a straight section of course. you can see an in-car example from andy in this vid:

Subarus are the same way, small drum on the inside if the rotor hat.
