Braking
When you brake, on the other hand, you want to slow down. Heck, why not use yourself as an air-brake? Sit up, let the wind resistance help pull you down from top speed. Let that squared-velocity drag work in your favor. Not only does it help out the brakes, but it is braking that doesn't come out of your traction allowance.
Be careful when you do this. You don't want an unexpected slam of air to pull you off the bike, and you still need to keep a light touch on the bars. But sitting up helps slow you down, and puts you in a better position to see the corner.
