Look you can believe what you want but to disprove someone have some kind of educated explanation on why you think its wrong. Don't go comparing our cars to cars that are in professional racing (rolex, F1, etc). The cars they are run is nothing close to what we run.
Be more opened minded people.

Racing Principles are racing principles. When it comes down to it racing is all about the balancing of weight on the contact patches (all 4 of them) and connecting dots to achieve the shortest distance possible at speed. There is a reason professional race series develop the equipment and principles they do, while the car does change the way it's driven, the end results and goals are the same.
The reason you heel toe is in order to keep the car loaded properly coming out of the corner, on the initial bite you'll have the majority of the weight transferred to the front under braking to allow the front wheels to turn in, however once you pass the initial turn in point the goal is to transfer the load from the front to the rear in a controlled manner to come out in power, it's less about engine braking than it is about keeping the car properly loaded for ideal weight transfer to the wheels that will accelerate you out of the corner.
I've done plenty of ride arounds in various cars from cup cars, Ferrari challenge,street cars, etc and I've yet to see an instructor hold the clutch in going through a corner. That being said whats the first thing you do in a spin (hint : both feet in)
