I wear combat boots, flip flops or no footwear at all. Track days have been combat boots.

Little feet?
Ah, see you know what I am talking about then. It is much easier on other vehicles to accomplish heel toe. The offset/gap of the brake and accelerator pedal make it difficult. I'm still trying to get it perfect with the sling and not scatter bits and pieces as you so eloquently put. I'm going to attempt at making a simulator pedal set that matches the Slingshot.
Excellent video. Makes a whole lot of sense! My sling is still sitting in the trailer. It hasn't stopped raining... I need to sit in the garage and try some of that footwork.
I want to run with you guys! Need to make a track day eventually... Please hold onto your Slings all...
Found a video showing just how bad I suck at this! This dude knows his stuff!

Took the sling in for a laser alignment at Coleman Powersports as it has been slightly pulling to the right. Got a call saying there is too much play on the right side of the rack and pinion. Possibly not getting covered by warranty! This will be a fight. At least I'm not missing any driving weather.......yet.
Same story with @Dogs, if you'll recall. Holy crap.
I think he just didn't know what that pedal was for. so he never used it - quite a character that one is!
I'm a hybrid variation of heel toe, but am more worried about the elbows in the side from my better half passenger when I accelerate a little quick.

I prefer the Ayrton Senna approach...slippers.
Learn from a formula one God. Enjoy!
Notice how he doesn't do it at every corner only the ones that are slower to carry the most speed.
I was lucky enough to be taught this technique by one of the few Canadian drivers who made it to F1. In a formula 3 car was the most fun thing I've ever driven.
Actually Bill in one of my older cars I had a button on the steering wheel that would light up the brake lights. You just hit the button about 20 or 30 yards from where your actually gonna brake. Messes with thier mind and puts you way ahead outa the corner.
Well and a good pair of slippers lol.

Sorry @FunCycle if I'm giving away any secrets.
That's devious @Slingshot Garage, I would have never pegged you as "that guy". I'll have to watch it around you when we meet someday.

Well I was a bit younger then lol. Back then it was for bragging rights win at all costs. Now I've mellowed somewhat.........ah heck who am I kidding it still is.
The fires still burning lol.

I'm pretty sure @FunCycle took out the brake and added a second accelerator
Great thread here @Cameron Roberts - goin against the norm and actually learning something here. Imma use @FunCycle name here so he can chime in. What say you Fun??
Very little heel and toe, but I thought everyone knew that I drive with my Tony Lamas pointy toes. They are like glove leather, but I did change them over to thin rubber soles. Have not used the heel and toe in many years (67 Corvette) had it for 26 years. Sold it about 20 years ago.
Originally the idea came about to deter tailgaters. My buddy had it in his car and if you got too close to the back end of his car he would hit the button. Scares the crap out of you if your behind.
