I keep breaking axles in my ice racer. I'm looking for an expert to help me figure out what's going on and to possibly measure for a custom ordered axle. Any help is appreciated. 204.dot.612..3681

Thank you, Sir. I appreciate that!  

Lol, yeah, that would not be the right sole!  Man, you got every ounce of power and handling out of the Veloster...great driving!  My power to weight ratio must be almost 2x the Veloster and you were all over me - very impressive!

I know the feeling, Ron! As a fan of funky shoes, I have driven in all kinds of crazy, ranging from no pedal feel at all to downright dangerous. My Adidas Springblade  pair, to be specific, highly do not recommend haha!! I found a couple brands of regular runners that work very well for me, Puma and Under Armour. Comfortable for standing around chatting, and soft enough for confident pedal feel and control.  I had a lot of fun lapping with you on Sunday, that Solstice looks like such a fun car! Thanks for that. Dason  

A suggestion for your foot comfort, as goofy as it may seem, if you are not requiring the SFI rating you might want to check-out and see if mat (wrestling) or martial arts shoes would work for you instead of a pure driving shoe. They are constructed very similarly with an equally slim/flexible sole but have more support in the arch and ankle than a pure racing/driving shoe. very common in the sim racing world. Good luck!

Think I learned the value of slim racing shoes this weekend.  Due to metatarsal issues, I recently changed to a thick soled walking runner.  Coming into turn 9, braking and clutching, my right foot caught the accelerator as I braked.  Suddenly I was sliding across the turn towards the barrier wondering what was pushing me...I got control and straightened out in time.  I think some racing shoes are on the list for next season.
