Have done the flick on the track before though. Was practicing braking as late a possible from 140mph straight to the tightest turn on the track they call the Stop Sign. Hit the brakes and my foot when thump on the floorboard. So out of panic i did the flick turning the car sideways. I still had the clutch in and it looked like I could go ahead and make the corner so dropped it in gear an floored it. Looked like I was dirt tracking the corner but it was pavement. I glanced over to the corner worker and he was giving me two thumbs up. Just coasted arouned the track for the last two laps of the session. Right after the session Kim Krumb a porsche factory driver came over and told me "He was right behind me and saw what I did." Said, "I just wanted to let you know, you only got so many of those in you." Smiled and walked off.
And yep, the 928 ebrake handle is not only on the left side. It is basically on the floor too. AND the spring in the ratchet release button with flatten the end of your thumb.
But there was just something about those single cone 180* turns Matt setup at those auotcrosses that made me want to do it.
