Grippy pedal covers: pyramid, grid, or something better?
http://www.customcorvetteaccessories...ingpedals.html
Is the accelerator wide enough to reach the pedal for some consistent heel/toe action? I can only reach when I'm wearing my boots, but I won't track with the boots although I have actually considered it. My guess is yes, but pictures aren't as good as first hand experience. I'm also wondering if I should go grid or pyramid? Block claims to be for road racing and pyramid for auto-x, but I feel they might be splitting hairs. I want these so my feet don't slip when it's wet and so I can heel/toe like a boss because I'm sick of missing the gas half the time when it's 20 miles from the brake. I mostly do HPDEs. I considered Elite Engineering's gas pedal, but CCA is a better bang for the buck and solves the slippery pedal issue too, unless there's a better offering out there that I'm missing.

I bought a set of the grid style with no border from http://www.srpracing.com/ They were prompt in shipping and I like them for HPDE. Easy to install. No complaints. Call them and talk to them before ordering.

I have the CCA Block finish. Your feet WILL NOT slip. I heel-toe with my toes on the brake, foot at a slight angle, and roll the foot over to blip the throttle. I have a size 9.5 shoe so you might have to do it differently if your foot is much larger.

Good call & good prices...may pick these up or just make my own.

I got the grid from SRP and they really helped me with H/T... coming much easier now and I actually used H/T on the track at WGI in August... The wider Gas pedal is a big help and you will not slip on them.

Check out Ultimate Pedals....bought the big gas pedal first....great for HT shifting. Then added the brake/clutch with the rubber *** inserts. The nice part is that you can leave the rubber **** in or remove them or replace them with blocks. They also added the Z06 logo to my pedal. Great products.

I went to their site and they only show pics of the texture of the pedals. Got any pics? All 3 are the same price as the others, so they seem worth investigating.

Click on Pedal options and it should show all the finishes. I emailed them and they sent me a PDF of the gas pedal to check the size. The guy has a small shop so you will probably get the owner if you call.....very helpful. My car will be in the shop for the next few weeks (track upgrades) or I would send pics

I just noticed the pedal grip test page, that answers which is the grippier of the 2.

I just need to call them tomorrow and see what they have in stock. For some reason when I looked at their page today, I went blind and didn't see the phone number.
1 more question: are driving shoes more or less grippy than running shoes?

I ordered the SRP pyramid grid pedals. They're made to order, looks like a 5-7 day turnaround so I should have them for my track weekend on the 20th.
