Message	I've been practicing my heel-toe driving technique, on the street only. I'm getting hooked on it. Does properly executed heel-toeing lead to a performance advantage as in faster track times, or is it done mainly to save wear and tear on the drivetrain by better matching the speed of the engine and tranny on a downshift and brake? Perhaps a bit of both?
