Martin, you mean to tell me I have to buy more crap???
I've been using some ancient thin soled running shoes. Just found racing shoes in my size. Easy Vicegrip, that's a softball. Let one of the minions handle it.

Back in the good old days, adjust the carburetor to stall if let of the gas and go drive in traffic, taught you very quickly to be able to heel and toe, even in reverse backing out of a drive way just to keep the motor from quitting. Very effective.

Come on Dirk, I was expecting a horse joke. You know, from the old days.

Just spent an hr. terrorizing Parklawn's Lane(Rockville). Don't go there if you drive a black Porsche, trust me. At 10 am almost no cars. There is a downhill leading to a pretty tight 180, it's perfect. If anyone has a good cloverleaf near Rockville let me know before someone locks me up

I drove in these by accident on the first run at one of our 'snow' events years ago. It took a few turns to get used to h/t with them

Thanks for the advice!
This is a good site for h/t techniques. My OMP seats are narrow and don't have the range of motion for the most common method so I use the tilt method. Check out the video by Ayrton Senna http://5xracing.com/n-11271-the-art-...nshifting.html |

Senna in loafers is a classic....
I need to add in the left foot brake tap in my car.

Anyone use a heel bar? (For consistency in maintaining heel position on floor while pivoting between brake and throttle.)
