I disagree with this! I was told the same thing and in my second CAT5 race I did just that. The problem was that it was a CAT5 race and the guy in front took a line that shot him into the curb. Lucky that the mailbox broke his fall otherwise he would have hit the grass. I hit the brakes hard, bumped the curb with my back tire but somehow stayed up. That was the last time I trusted that the guy in front knew what line to take.
carpediemracing had a very good post. I'm still new to racing and can relate to the thread. Besides the good advice carpediemracing had, i found that when I start losing my line (getting pushed out by the g-force) I quickly lower my shoulders/chest and it helps to hold my line.
