I knew that foot pedal would scare you.
No worries... PUMP IT!!!
I had one in my Lumina years ago and nobody believe that I could do sweet donuts and high quality drifts in a FWD 4door baby blue gramma-mobile.
As you push into the pedal leave your foot on it... with pressure. Once it gets out on you pump it... basically like a "double clutch" movement. As quickly as you can move your foot the brake will engage and disengage in the blink of an eye.
I don't have anything other than my truck that has a foot brake... and that one doesn't work, or I'd show you.
