Credit John Parsons for the idea.

Use graduated thickness' of plywood to build up the height of the gas pedal such that it's undepressed height is equal to that of the height of the depressed brake pedal. Then shape the top-most layer of ply such that it reduces the gap between the gas pedal and brake. Then attach blingy alloy pedal cover.

Scha-wing.

BTW, There is a brilliant series of articles in the SCCA mag by Randy Pobst. In one particular article about a year ago he covered braking. His description of proper braking called for heavy-on gradual-off in terms of pedal pressure. At the time one is reaching over to blip the throttle one should be tapering off the pressure on the brake pedal. Which adresses the above worry of accomplishing the "blip" wilst one is heavy on the brakes.
