While everyone talks about how to heel-toe and rev-match, no one has mentioned any other way to do this. I am a beginner and will have to learn how to do this, but in the mean time, while I am, how do I down shift on the track without these methods?

Detailed answers would be appreciated.
What track? Look at some Youtube videos of Caymans driving on that track and watch the shifts.

If its Thunderhill, I can tell you exactly where you can shift and never have to do so while turning. This will cover you for quite a while. My best is a 2:14 with no heel-toe shifting. That will come later for me.
