Carroll Shelby wore cowboy boots when he won Le Mans back in the 50s!

Re: Toe/Heal 2017
Here is a vid from the 2018 BG gathering and I am driving Steve's beast . What a hoot to drive an LT5 with that much juice under the hood ! I like this vid because you can see my hand placement on the steering wheel . After instructing at the driving course I was still seeing drivers placing there hands in the wrong places . Notice how loose my hands are on the steering wheel . I am also pulling down on the wheel threw the corners .
Steve's car has the Hurst short shifter also and it took a bit of getting used too . My hand is sometimes on the shifter but no pressure is applied until the shift . Also I have the wrong shoes( wide runners) and you will see a few mess ups with my toe/heel . Proper shoes are key . Watch how Steve tries to keep all the things at bay in the back of the car we were supposed to take out lol !Ooops . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7ItuKddTbM Last edited by Tripler; 07-11-2018 at 09:43 PM. |
