If you approach the upcoming 40 MPH corner at about 120, you'll have a little more time to blip the gas while hard braking without coming to a complete stop. BTW, in some cases there is very little time for braking and downshifting on the track. Learning to manage the brakes, clutch and gas under such circumstances is one of the driver skills people seek when they go to the track. If you're serious about learning heel-toe, that's the best place to learn it safely.
