Default I don't do it; usually shift into second in curve and accelerate thru curve and out. Not good style

but it works for me. I know how to do it but haven't practiced it a lot. No track use as yet.

I can just see you with your foot on the steering wheel doing it. How do you do it?

Who needs a 90deg? I do it all the time. Great fun, now that I'm proficient at it.

Default I do the bigfoot version. Since my feet are really big, it's...

...difficult for me to heel-toe. Instead, I brake with the left side of the ball of my foot, and use the right side to work the accelerator. I'm hoping that if I ever get my aluminum pedals installed, I will be able to work those better with a heel-toe action. I do this all the time, BTW. :-)
