Default Anti-Slip tape for floor

Just got my cage completed and I'm looking for some anti-slip material for the drivers floor. I have heard the bathtub stuff doesn't hold up too well. And I don't think I really want the sandpaper style grip tape either. It just seems like it would wear a hole in the heels of the race shoes rather quickly. Anybody found something that works well?

I use the 3M grip tape and it works just fine. Unless you're doing the electric slide while you're in the car, your shoes should not be wearing out too quickly, IMO.

I googled skateboard suppliers and got the stick on grip that they use.

I used spray-on truck bed liner. Taped off the floor area in front and sprayed several coats. It is much more slip resistant than just plain paint, and doesn't wear off as quickly either.

Not a great pic, but it's all I could find showing the front floor areas:

After I stripped my interior I had the whole interior sprayed with a light coat of the bedliner product.
It's held up very well in the last 2 years

Weight! Skate board tape in the spots you need . A healthy application of brake clean once a year weather it needs it or not. How do you get the grass and speedy dry out of that stuff? This the personal hygiene board isn't it?
