I like Rob's idea best...nuts and washers or a bolt through the go pedal or a wood shim taped underneath it...yes, it is old school but it works, is very low cost and actually makes each run easier on your motor...don't make it harder than it has to be...

One piece of wood with the right thickness taped under the gas pedal and you are running 12.00...pull it off after the race until you need it again...

Amazingly simple yet effective. Thanks for that idea.

Future, don't be afraid of jumping to a quicker class. The best way to improve yourself is to run against better racers. It will force you to step up your game.


Another simple but logical solution. Thanks for taking the time to think about how to solve the problem. Simpliest is usually best.

I post in this forum to pick the brains of expeirenced racers. If I wanted uninformed answers I would just post in the general section where bezel colors compete with the benefits of hood seals.

Thanks to those who take use their time and wisdom to provide ideas to solve my problems.
