I think planting your heel on the floor panel when braking is a bad habit. IMO, the best way of heel and toeing is to swing your heel and use it to depress the gas pedal. Otherwise, there is a chance your foot will get jammed between the pedals. I know of one "experienced" track driver who spun out that way. I played around with extension plates a little in the past, but decided against them--not only because of the potential jamming issue but also due to the possibility of inadvertently catching the throttle while braking, which happened to me a few times. Anyway, there will be different opinions on this, but I think the cleanest and most consistent way is to swing out the heel. Also, heel and toeing is somewhat different on the street vs track as on the street you won't be standing on the brakes the way you would on the track. My 2 cents…
