Typical trackday riders would more than likely not use their rear brake unless the front fails, they are offroading and dont want to lowside by using the front, or have an "oh shit" moment and lock everything up.

True.

But there are always those: "I back it in sidewayz, every corner like Mick, yo." riders that think because they have practiced and are able to pull of an advanced technique without crashing, it automatically drops their lap times.

That is often not the case and that is who is was referring to.
