No wonder! Easy solution: have your toes amputated! :P
Do you still have the tilt wheel available? I'm gonna guess you've got long legs so you should be back from the wheel a bit. Between tilting the wheel up a bit and using a spacer I would think you'd have a little room to move the knee? I know that's one of my pet peeves, having your hand(s) hit your knee(s) while working the wheel.
I skip gears infrequently, but Sebring's hairpin is one place that always seems to be a "short" braking zone coming down from 5th gear to 2nd. And maybe it's just me, but I'm not one that likes to zing the motor to redline on each downshift just so I can make a bunch of noise. I would hope a race car's brake system is stronger than the engine providing deceleration. IMHO that's just bad form. For me, having the car in gear during threshold braking is just a way to help minimize brake lockup.

Yup. I'm 6'5" with long legs. I have the tilt up a couple notches, but anymore and it'd be uncomfortable because of how far the seat is back. I was amazed the seat was back far enough for me since Bob is 5 or 6 inches shorter than me. He must've been straight legged and armed when driving. I'd like the steering wheel closer to me so I think I'm going to try a spacer next and see how that works. It may get the steering wheel out far enough that my knee can go behind it. I found a nice OMP steering wheel that has almost a 3" dish to it as well. It's pretty pricey at $219 though.
