ABS is probably most helpful on sucky road conditions where you have bumps, gravel, rain water, etc. and unexpected situations force you to jam the brakes hard. It's more of a piece of mind thing. On a track, where each turn is expected and you have the mindset to anticipate braking you probably don't need ABS at all unless you're just not a very good sporty driver. My MR2 has ABS and I'm cool with that. The only time I've really needed it was in the rain. My civic doesn't have ABS, and one time I tried to stop at an intersection and ended up sliding halfway into it because the road was wet. Luckly no one was around to see. But on dry pavement, I can stand on the brake pedal on the freeway and it won't lock, because those brakes are pretty wimpy.
