You can't tell me that someone on a roadrace-autocross forum has never heard the term "left-foot braking"? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Pat I do that on a Cart... not on a car. Maybe because i drive manual. |

My post talked about how left foot braking works for me driving a manual in roadcourse situations (CMC for me) in addition to my street experience with autos - have an instructor show ya sometime. It is an advanced technique and you have to have a good understanding of throttle and brake skills before you attempt. It is another tool for your driver's skill toolbox.
