I don't "brace for impact". That's how bones get broken.
It's cool... this thread's whole purpose for existence is pot stirring. Everyone's arguments in here are hypothetical with the exception of cases where someone has had an experience where they slammed on the accelerator while bracing for impact or they have evidence that their chosen left foot driving techniques make them faster.
While I use techniques that have proven to be fast on the track or in competition while driving on the street, I have no proof that using these techniques on the street is good practice other than the fact that I haven't had an off or a collision in my 26 years of driving.
