pedal covers?

[2ksi]

Will GIR or FSF make me take my pedal covers off in the STS class? It would be hard for me to heel and toe with out them. If not I will have to wear my clown shoes.

Pedal covers are completely allowed. No worries.

[Alan]

Even indiglo pedals? ;)

jackass
lol
no way gizzimdog i gotz thoze indiziglizoe gage fizzaces in my dizzash yo and the pizzedal coverz to mizzatch


not really

[lstepnio]

Accelerator brake and clutch pedals may utulize substitute covers of unresistricted origin shape and size provided they meet the following req: covers must be securely attached provide a non-slip surface not interfere with each others operations and be deemed safe at Tech inspection.

I gotta raise the flag!

:bsflag:

How many people ever shift more than once at at typical GIR/FSF autox course???? (1st -> 2nd). Heel-Toe My ASS!

Is indiglo considered a non-slip surface?

[Alan]

No kidding. With the exception of my launch I stayed in 2nd gear the entire time at the g-ville event.

[lstepnio]

Im going to laugh my ass off when he shows up in a Civic with Indiglo pedal covers and kicks your $30000 Cobra all over the place. Gezz lighten up! ;)

[138MustangGT]

Lenny real drivers heel-toe. Maybe thats why your $30000 cobra can barely beat my 215hp GT.

but really in a car with gears (not tall ones like fords) changing gears is a necessity and on REAL autoX courses (MUCH UNLIKE GAINESVILLE WHERE WE DRIVE A SHORT ROAD COURSE BASICALLY) you change gears from 1st to 2nd pretty often. At least NON SLOW drivers do like oh Jesse in his Protege who is at LEAST 2 seconds faster than BOTH our Mustangs.

1. You forget your gears are tall. I have 3.27s (granted 4.10s would be optimal but Im not interested in killing my gas mileage).
2. You are comparing your time on R compound tires to mine on street tires. Lets wait until the next GIR event and well see where I stand now that I have the Kumhos...
3. And lets be honest about it... neither of us is changing gears at GIR so heel toe has nothing to do with it...
4. As I recall you cant even drive stick.... :spoke:

[138MustangGT]

I never said I was a real driver and something about your situation sucks. there is still no excuse for TIRES being the only thing keeping me within a 1/4 of a second of your times. and exactly... I drive an AUTO.

I wish I had some cool pedal covers though. and Pedal covers nor shifter handles NOR non stock steering wheel wraps are allowed in stock classes. Driver-car interface can NOT be changed... I argued that to hell and back. Some dude with an 8-ball shift knob is illegal in stock LOL... now mind you no one would challenge it unless they were a complete asshole but its illegal none the less.

Im pretty in pink mwa ha hah ha sleeeeep deprivation!

Thats funny heal and toe. HAHAHA!!!! Oh Please unless your some race car dynamo at Sebring or something there is not much need for it. Ive autocrossed several times at 5 different locations and only once have I ever shifted into third. (huge airport track in Texas) And only on a VERY rare occasion have I needed to downshift into 1st gear. Im talkin really tight 90 degree corner too at Sunriders.
If you find yourself shifting a lot at an autocross event. Your probably doin something wrong.

[2ksi]

I have a B16A2 (the torqueless wonder).
So to make decent power here is where I need to be...

1st gear 26-39 mph
2nd gear 40-61 mph

Heel-Toe still not necessary???????

[Tacdout]

On most autocross courses there isnt going to be time to heal-toe. But if you think you can do it. Do it.
