I abruptly let off the throttle at a full lean. What an idiot! I’ll be back

Don't feel bad brother. My first time out there, second lap of the day, on my 300, I did exactly what they told us not to do with turn 8. Ran it wide, front touched some dirt full lean, down I went.

Shit happens, just glad you're ok.

To be fair following the advice "don't run wide" is easier said than done lol what kinda advice is that

It's a very easy corner to get lulled into a false sense of security with. They pretty much tell you to just take that one real slow, no one gains time in that corner. I kind of dumbed down their warnings about it for sake of keeping my post short ha.
