Default rug under spoon

I have a lovely white shag rung for a floor covering for Ms. Sandy's tootsies. Seems the accelerator pedal hits the rug+ the insulation restricting the accelerator from full throttle. Golly, my peekup is hotter than Nick's 41 pile now, so maybe I'll leave things alone...

Think of it as a "Burnout Limiting System". We flathead guys don't have to go fast to be cool.

Enlarge the hole around base of pedal or shorten the shag with a razor blade.
