My foot's just kinda on the floor normally. On the track, espescially when cornering, I'm doing leg presses on the dead pedal. I need a racing seat/harness to keep me in the seat better.

Because we're a bunch of masochistic SOB's, that why. Never pass up an opportunity to kick a dead peddle when it's down!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

I always use the dead pedal when cruising and in between shifts (except maybe 1st to 2nd, cause it's short). Whenever I've taught someone to drive a manual, I teach them to put their foot on the dead pedal between shifts. They always get so frustrated when I keep reminding them that they forgot, but in the end they've developed the good habit NOT to ride the clutch.
