thats why its called "left foot braking" :p.

If you can heel/toe, you can left foot brake. It is a little bizarre at first, but once you get the hang of rotating the truck this way, its butter.

I'm happy to give a lesson or two the next time im out at texplex. I dont think i'll make the february one either, unfortunately.

I will gladly take you up on a lesson if the offer is open. I am also close to pulling the trigger on taking a course at Rally Ready. Dave said he would make one Raptor specific if we had enough people.

I had a blast at TexPlex as well. Truck is stock except bump stops and Deaver’s. I am pretty much a novice. Have not tried left foot braking yet. I have one day at TRR, two at Tex Plex and one at RR.

I made it out of there without damage. Honestly, I don’t think it was hard to do (hope I am not Jinxing myself and am not saying I am a good driver and the others aren’t- I am a novice and probably going much slower!). I left around one because I had stuff to do, but got 5 laps in. Did that many people wind up with damage? I try not to get out of my comfort zone, but it happens. I did send it on one that I thought was much smaller than it was (last two videos below). Being close to stock, I crawled over the one spot M and L had damage.

My third lap

I'm happy to impart whatever wisdom I have gained for anyone that shows up to texplex. I'm by no means some super pro, but I have been taking courses and racing both on an off pavement for 23 years.

But if you shit your pants in my truck, just like uber, there is a cleaning fee. ;)

Looks like a blast, wish we had something up here like that.

think of it as using the brake to clutch kick into an oversteer situation when trying to snag the inside line for a pass on the track.
It's a long shot, but fire me a PM whenever you decide to go out, definitely up for picking pointers from you in person and/or getting a ride. Also, IIRC, your truck makes me want to spend money I shouldn't spend.
