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

[Brad Kahler]

Dang Kas, I thought this was going to be an easy fix.  I guess the 
Velcro I was going to put on the gas pedal and Susan's shoes won't be 
such a good idea after all !!

It also looks like any sort of spray on solution had better be used as a 
last resort considering how hard it would be to remove.

Thanks for the insight on the heal and toe issue.
