I agree. I used to instruct at BMW CCA driving schools while I was club racing a BMW. The BMW schools (one weekend at a race track) are very good and a deal as far as cost.
JBA Speed Shop did that? That really does not sound like anything that they would do. They did an excellent job rebuilding my 2004 Terminator. Been going to them since 1996 when I got my '96 SVT Cobra.
FYI: Most racers using a manual transmission don't really "heel/toe." They use the left half of their right foot to brake and roll their right foot over to blip the throttle with the right half of their right foot. Much easier!
