Usually they're initiated right around the same point, the backwards entry is often cooler because it's not some bro standing on the e-brake for 37 seconds while he loses 60 mph of speed. IIRC, when Tanner Foust Nailed a Backwards Entry at Road Atlanta in 2010 it secured him the #1 qualifying position. Video for Reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1bIB5D3NB8 Notice how Tanner Enters the corner early as all hell, but then lets the car continue to rotate until the angle of the car matches the angle that he wants through the apex. From there it's just about getting back into the throttle and the steering at the right time. Then again, not every car seems to be setup to do a backwards entry. Most cars that have the 'bobble' during the reverse portion often run out of angle and have to shallow out to keep from losing the line. Seems like you need 50*+ on an S-Chassis to do a proper backwards entry, which is a lot more then your standard knuckle setup. Video for Reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOWHRTYjhyg Notice how Conrad over rotated and looked like he was about to spin right after the entry. He comes in real early, but right between seconds 1 and 2 he shallows up a lot because he can't carry the angle through the corner. From there his angle looks like a text book chopped knuckle full-lock drift - not that it's not impressive, but there is still room to improve. Just food for thought.

I think what he meant was an early entry without that backward crap is better.......
