I use a non slip paper that was designed for porch steps. It's an adhesive
backed weather proof sandpaper that comes in stair tread sized, 6"x 24"
sheets. I cleaned the metal pedals and the floor directly below the pedals
where my heels rest and cut pieces to fit. I also put a small strip on a
section of the roll bar where I sometimes stand when I get in the car from
the passenger side. The strips stick for a year or two, and I keep a
section in the parts box to replace them at the track if needed. Strips
designed for a shower floor would work as well but I don't believe that
they have as much grip or come in a large sheet to cover the heel area.
