    I used a cutting board from Walmart for the CMC car:


    Or the more expensive route, like the Ultimate Pedal I put on my Cobra:


    I also modded the pedal height on both cars which was a big help.....still not great at H&T though ops:

    One issue you may not run into on the Chevy is that the Ford has a curved gas pedal which required me to slowly heat up the plastic cutting board in the oven which got the wife pissed for stinking up the kitchen with the smell of hot plastic. I've since purchased a heat gun for stuff like this.

    Easy way to learn.....
    Practice in a parking lot @ low speed doing up shifts. Then work on the down shifts.

    I bought those covers in the grid pattern for both my CMC Camaro and C5 Z06 street car and love them. When I had wet feet my foot would slip off the brake/clutch pedals in the Z06. I bought them for that first then acquired the CMC car and installed them there as well. I did shim the accelerator cover up with a chunk of OSB to get the height right. Now you get to learn to brake with the ball of your foot. Start doing it on your DD too so it's second nature in the race car. The blip is nothing more than locking your ankle and rocking your knee to keep the car from jerking when you start. After that it'll come more naturally.

    2 layers of Walmart cutting board to extend gas pedal and get it roughly even with the depressed brake pedal. Works perfect. Full credit to Mitch Warren - I just took pictures of his car (and many others) before I built mine and followed his advice on this.

    Jeff Wertz was one of the smoothest I have seen.

    I never got this good. I always felt like DW used to say, "stomping out a grass fire".

    Didn't Jeff have the track record at MSRC for years even with at CMC1 power?
