I gotta Pull the Lever in all the way to start off...Normal Shifting I can use two and go about halfway.

of course Nine times out of ten I upshift without the clutch...

Yes, you'll use the shit out of your brakes at most tracks.

Track or street or at home I only use two fingers.

I rarely use the BACK brake on the track but that is an entirely different discussion.

I used to use four but retrained myself to use two once I got my gp plus gloves since it feels a lot more comfortable to use two with having the finger bridge.

Thats what steers me away from A* gloves, the finger bridge. I brake with my middle two fingers and keep the pinky and pointer on the throttle.
