Neil: 
My left foot has to ride the clutch because traction control is illegal.
Guess I'll have to improve the dexterity in some other appendage.

Russ; 


Well, in LSR racing, a driver's left foot isn't doing anything-- maybe he
could control the inlet with it so he doesn't have to let go of the steering
wheel.  :)

Neil: 
actually, I think it would be silly to require the driver to adjust it
manually. 
I just said that to irritate Skip-- and he made a point of ignoring the
comment. 
(I guess he wins this round.)
