but then again i guess Heel and toe does fall into that category but theres alot more.

Heel-toe is about changing down gears without upsetting the cars' balance at that particular moment by jolting the drivetrain which may invoke locking under brakes and mess up your turn in and miss the apex.

Simply put, reducing speed quickly and smoothly, being in the right gear to power out of the corner and shifting weight in a measured fashion.

Thanks for all the advise guys! Went out for a little drive last night and I can sure say that I'm more confident that before :)

Yes, but if you do need to downshift and brake at the same time before entering the corner, then heel toe is everything (in that 1 second that is). :)
