[Fot] ... + racing Triumph-related question

[Gt6steve at aol.com]

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
