Damn, I was doing it backwards when I had my Mustang... heel on the brake, toe on the gas. 
It would be next to impossible with the pedal layout that it had though.

That's funny. I shift like a roadracer. I don't shift like a drag racer (i.e.-smashing through synchros, breaking shift levers, powershifting, you know, all the things you can do when your race lasts only 12 seconds...).
With a completely stock gearbox, clutch and flywheel, you can't go crashing through the gears with your fingers crossed that the thing holds together the entire weekend. You will drop out of a lot of races.
There is more to motorsports than just dragracing...

Our first race was the Long Beach Grand Prix in April. The car was way underdeveloped, heavy (according to the rules), low on boost (according to the rules) and way undertired (according to the rules). We are working closely with the SCCA to get the car where it needs to be to compete against the V8 and V10 torque monsters.
Our next race is at Infineon at the end of June. We're expecting to be mixing it up with the mid-pack Vettes, Vipers and Porsches.
Anyway, here's the promo video from Long Beach. 40MB, so right click and save as. BTW, I'm the guy in the light blue shirt talking on camera. I'm also the very lucky guy to be sitting in the driver's seat!
