April 20, 2008 - Traction pad! Remember my attempt at a traction pad for my heels from last summer? It was a failure. That particular piece of non-skid was from Home Depot, intended for use on stairs, ladders and the like. I stopped in at a local skateboard shop a couple of weeks ago and picked up a chunk of deck tape to try again. And it works beautifully. It was on the car for the recent track day and it's still solidly mounted to the car - unlike the Home Depot stuff which came adrift almost immediately. At 20 cents per inch, it was also a whole lot cheaper than the Home Depot option. So a win overall then. tags: ergonomics |
