I started practicing this daily after I went from 3-2 at around 90 MPH at Thunderhill. The car went very sideways down the front straight, and all of a sudden the traction hooked up and I was moving toward a concrete tire wall perpendicular to traffic. I saved the car by inches, but since then have made it a point to rotate the wrist for any shift up out of 3, even in street driving. Actually, you could say ESPECIALLY in street driving; as with heel-and-toe, it's best to build the muscle memmory in daily driving so you don't think about it under stress.
