At least on mine, that platform side sticks down further than the bottom of any other pedal.
I don't imagine such pedals would be permitted at my track. YMMV.
Excellent point. you should check your local track regulations. But Your foot is still way longer than the depth of the pedal. There is no way that could make a difference. Not from my experience anyways. The flip flops were a joke. I watch too many SNL digital clip on Hulu is all.
