Does anyone left-foot brake?
 

Just wondering if anyone uses their left foot for braking. At auto-x, track days or even on the street?

I saw these two videos which made me think of it.

I left foot brake on autocross but right foot brake on a road course.

yes on both...dependent on the track also...autocross is busy hands, feet and head moving quickly...road course is lesser movements

Nope. Lot's of fast drivers do, it seems that more fast drivers don't.

***If you do left foot brake, please note how many pedals are in your car.***

For autoX you need to learn how to left foot brake. The learning curve is a bit steep with a manual. It took 3 seasons before I got a good feel and quit slamming on the brake and spinning at the end of a run. I left foot on the street most of the time as well. More practice at being smooth. My passengers don't even notice anymore.

If the Auto X is a 1st gear only, I left foot brake. And if I have to up and down shift, im not sure what foot I brake with.

Road Course, I left and right foot brake.

There are times on road course, I brake with left foot, blip throttle and down shift at the same time, no clutch down shift.

Daily driver automatic pickup pretty much exclusive left foot braking.

'69 Camaro T56 never have, my feet are too big and the pedals too small with minimal spacing for me to feel comfortable.

All the time on my motorcycles though......except the Bultaco. :D

My Chevelle is 5 speed and Elco is auto and left brake both of them all the time track or street.

To be fast at autocross, one must be smooth with the driver inputs. Left foot braking allows one to modulate throttle on\brake off or brake on\throttle off at the same time for a smoother transition without surprising the tires.

I started autocrossing with an automatic and left foot braking, after installing the T56 it only took me 2-3 runs to get to where I could shift to second after the start then place my foot where I needed it for left foot braking during the run.

Where I did have trouble was the first time I ran a Speed Stop competition. First two runs I slid into the box, left foot on the brake...killing the engine in the process. Next two runs I tried to right foot brake through the 180 and 3 cone slalom but couldn't make it smooth...so I started to left foot brake through the turns...then just lifted my left leg in the air and got it ready for the clutch as I entered into the braking area for the box.

You just do whatever it takes to get er done... :D

my dad does in his daily driver, but he's also the one who taught us how to drag race :bitchslap:
