Hrmmmmm.

We have no events scheduled for that weekend. Maybe I could head over on Friday, find somewhere to stay(hope hotels aren't ridiculously packed) and come back Sunday morning or evening.

might even be able to talk Sam aka Ace into making the travel too, although it would be near a 7 hour drive for him.

most racers stay at the Hampton Inn/Suites Indy Airport, or Hilton Garden Inn Indy Airport or Holiday Inn Indy Airport. All are fairly new hotels.

I'm oncall that week and trying to get it swapped with someone on my team. The racing is awesome with about 20 different classes it seems. Also, you want to enter the car show. Cost of entering the car show, and general admission is the same.. difference is that you get to keep an eye on your car, along with packing it full of food and drinks. The car show is at the main grand stands.

Anyway, I was taking the shorter way back to my place and I couldn't even go 20 ft on that street. The truck in front of me turned around. You know it's bad when a truck turns around.

It's been raining nonstop since pretty much Wednesday.

@those that are familiar with heel toe:

do you incorporate it into your daily driving, or is it something only to be used on a track? whats the difference between heel toeing and regular downshift tev matching? and lastly, do you press the breaks first then engage the clutch/switch gears and rev match or all done simultaneously?

It's all being done so quickly I'd consider it simultaneously. But there are plenty of videos you can find online to help you learn. As for incorporating it into daily driving, I wouldn't worry about it in my opinion. Heel toeing is meant more to save your transmission from a hard downshift. Only thing you would need to worry about while DD is rev matching for the best feel of shifts. The difference is that when you heel toe you are using the brakes to slow down the vehicle first, instead of the transmission slowing it down in normal downshifting.

Yeah that's not a good sign if a truck turns around. But Taco Bell is a must

I just blip the throttle to rev match for downshifting while driving normally. If I ever heel and toe is when I'm driving spiritedly on back roads but as far as which is engaged first the brakes or clutch I couldn't tell ya lol it all just kinda happens. I'd say brakes but it could be either one.

Like I'm not those types of cars that speed through flooded area. I go like 3 mph. Twas good Taco Bell. Literally have done nothing with my life today. I don't have Friday classes so I've been a bum.

Mmm...Taco Bell...

A friend of mine once introduced the concept of dunking the bean burritos into the nacho cheese sauce.

Bad times were had.

Visits to Taco Bell usually end up making "shit" memories.

thanks for the tips. been struggling to hit the breaks + bliping the throttle at the same time (any advice for camaros??). but ill just use regular downshift for city driving. definitely a technique id love to master though.

What size foot do you have? I can do it easily, but I wear a 13 so I just have to roll my foot over

I wear a 13 and have an extremely hard time heel-toeing

I've heard the extended pedals help tremendously
