takes me 2mins to install and 2mins to uninstall!! Allthough I might be getting a proper camera mount when I get the rollbar in, but for now this will do!

Oh, and I edited the clip in Windows Movie maker and saved it in WMV format!

It's funny how I allways thought heel&toe was just for the hardcore racers and that for most ordinary people it was just a wannabe-racer thing.
Now that I've done two DE's, I can clearly see how it would benefit me to master the heel&toe technique!

You don't need it on the street, that's for sure but coming into a braking zone for a hairpin turn at +140mph at Sebring is where you need it as you really don't wanna upset the car by engine braking...

That's for damn sure, but once you get it down pat you will incorporate it into your normal daily driving, spirited driving or even track driving, it becomes 2nd nature
