my transmission is setup for a brake. Has an A&A brake in it and was built by Cope, he used these until a few years ago, went to his own brake now for his builds.
Every pass I have ever made in the car was off the foot. Have yet to ever use the brake except to push the brake button to back the car up.
So whoever told you that is dead wrong.
Other cars I have had with a brake I have used the brake and the foot both, depending on the event/rules….
