After Saturday nights storm our paddock area was a bit of a quagmire. We
simply never thought about it until we got into the cars for Sunday mornings
practice. As I recall). For the race we had it handled with absorbent
towels
in each car. Live and learn...
Steve,
I didn't realize Chuck (or any of you for that matter) had that kind of
problem at Hallett. I wouldn't think diamond plate would solve the
problem as its still a smooth surface. As several people have suggested
the pedal itself seems to be the real issue. Right now it looks like
either a spray on substance or some sort of stick on surface cover is
going to be the answer.
Thanks!
Brad
