    Necromancing the thread. "Rise from your grave"

    Heel-Toe shifting? Try being 6'3" and doing that in a Miata. It's not really easy but I've gotten used to it. However, I hardly ever find a use for it. *shrug*

    My main two techniques are clutch kick and power over. I soon follow that by a big spinout because I suck.

    See you guys at SFS I hope.

    Work on weight transfer in conjunction with a well timed clutch kick or shift lock. I've seen you drive, and I wouldn't say you suck at all... You're practicing just every other one of the 40 people out there... practice makes perfect.

    if you're spinning you're either not countersteering quick enough, or just going too much into the power over and not balancing the power. if you just plant your foot and keep it there you'll loop almost every time. my general technique with a clutch kick is to bump the clutch and barely keep my foot on the gas, the car will rotate from inertia alone. as i come to full lock is when i begin applying throttle to throttle steer the car and use small steering inputs to keep the angle.
