The track corners that I'm aware of, it would be hazardous to even think about that.
That's why I only trail brake in a RWD with enough power to control my rotation
It's hard enough doing it my way, and I think that at my stage of development it would be impossible.
In the specific Summit Turn 5 manoeuvre I mentioned, it would be patently impossible to slow from 110 to 45 if you're already turning.
That's why I say there's a slight difference between total trail braking, and late-braking with trail
We'll have to get together at Summit or VIR sometime and compare notes. 
Sounds good to me, but since I'm a very poor student, know any ways for me to get some "cheaper" track time? :naughty:
I should clarify right now that the majority of my race experience is in two stroke go-karts, cars I've been snagged to drive, and a bit of experience in purpose built racers. The last time I was at an HPDE was LMS year before last October, and I drove my car to it's limits, but the instructor kept wanting me to apex later, take wider turns, etc, even though with my car in track trim it was wholley unnecessary. Maybe in a car I was unfamiliar with, or if I had more power, I'd drive it the way he wanted me to, it was just odd for him to tell me my lines were wrong [at the time, his first season in a competitive race series anywhere, I've been experimenting with lines since I was 8], even though I would easily make up 8 car lengths over any car on the track in the turns, and driving his way I would gain no corner entry or exit speed, only an extra 70 feet of distance between corners.
