The driver could not get the boot free resulting in violent unintended acceleration. At the last second, the driver was able to get the boot free from under the brake and on the accelerator. The driver was terrified as was anyone who saw it.

It is OK to breathe now.

Sh** happens and we adapt. Now we have a boot rule. We would like to see everyone with racing shoes. Driving shoes are good.




Use your best judgement when selecting motorsports foot wear. Your life may depend on it.
Perfectly stated. That was a scary moment...and I'm a big fan of rules that make sense. This one makes more sense than most.

So regular sneakers and shoes are fine just no big boots that get lodged. What I was referring to was something like the Merrel MOAB hiking boots. I do have regular sneakers though.

A sleeker sneaker would be preferable to this boot style.

Still debating on doing a couple laps, by then my pilot sport 4s tires and new r1 premiere set will be well broken in. Never did anything like this so it should be interesting, might get the award with most ran over cones lol. Need to tell myself no heavy drinking the night before lol.

O.K. I went to Chevrolet.com and WCC neither one had those nifty shoes. Where could a fella buy those AND are they sized like Nike. I wear a 13 work boot but most tennis shoes I have to get 14.

Thanks, Wayne

Here you go. Sizes seem to vary based on the dealer.

I'll be nice and wear something more amenable for you. I have plenty of sneaker options I just feel the most comfortable in my MOABs.
