Correct. It's actually toe & heel. I first learned it effectively at
Bondurant. It works very well in cars that are actually designed for
it. I was able to sort of do it in my 96 Civic, but not my wife's 96
Accord.

I'm now trying to figure out how to get left foot braking to work in
my Fit. Looks like it will take MAJOR physical modifications. For
the critics, I left foot every couple of weeks in my F500 racer, so I
know exactly what I'm doing.
