Worst part of something like that is you don't know what's happening and it takes you a split second to realize and then react. I'm glad your ok! Clean out your pants and get right back on the horse...with a dual return spring setup. (Huh, that must be why NHRA mandates it.)
Im setting one up right now actually i have a spring inside of a spring. Pedal will be stiff but worth it.
Excellent! All's well that ends well! Like I said, glad to hear your ok.
