+1 agreed. IMO, under heavy track braking the blip requires less anatomical distortion of your foot because the brake pedal is closer to the accelerator... so its more natural.

FWIW, I have never heel/toe'd well on the street... but one day at the track it just all clicked. Also there's a ton of youtube videos of pro driver's feet working the pedals. Here's a great one of Senna driving the NSX.
