We were taught we get a maximum of 3 blips before needing to re-position as the foot tends to slide off the brake. Side-pressure against the brake can help alleviate this.

I am sure there are many different ways to accomplish the same thing, but this is how I was taught.

Text book style: Toe on Brake and Heel on Gas

I believe both ways can handle both types of pedal.

I don't know all, but 99% of the race car driver are using the method that you learn.
