I've heard Brad talk about the pros braking early going into the track or "pre-braking" to settle the car. What does this mean?

Also I see the merits in driving hard into a turn and out-braking a competitor to make a pass. But during qualifying or timed runs where the lap time is the opponent, late braking doesn't appear to be the answer for a momentum car.

What is the proper technique for brake points during qualifying laps and Time Trials?

Thanks,

Bill P.
