It was strange running Thunderhill backwards for NorCal's May 3-4 race. It was a new track for most people and there were more vehicle carnage in all the run groups than I ever remember. Our morning warm-up session started on a strange note as the opening lap yellow turned into a full course black as some cars trying to find the track got confused on Turn 5 and went up on the Cyclone and some cars took the Bypass. It was a good thing there were no car to car contact when the track joined up again.

It was a weekend of great racing at Infineon raceway. The weather was unusally hot in the high 80's for this time of year but not as hot as the wheel to wheel racing fun.

Adjusting Pedals for better “heel-toe” downshifting |

The goal is to get both pedals (gas and brake) more level to each other in order to make blipping the throttle more convenient while simultaneously braking (under heavy, medium, or light braking situations).
The situation with the 944 or 951 is that the throttle pedal sits too deep in comparison to the brake pedal. This calls for awkward or inconveniently extreme foot angles in order to accomplish blipping the throttle while simultaneously braking with the right foot.
What options do we have in order to bring both pedals more level to each other? A) We can opt for adjusting the throttle pedal forward some, or B) we can lower the brake pedal some. 
Although it may be possible to adjust the throttle pedal height, it turns out to be much easier to opt for adjusting the brake pedal height instead.
