I've never left the line with two hands on the wheel in any car I've ever driven. Both my cars have to be shifted into second before 60 feet but that differs between small block/big block and gear ratios etc. The super stock car has to be shifted in the air on the way down from the wheelie or the run and the oil pan are both ruined. I don't think anyone understands what the new rule means. Just make it simple, for starters e-shift in anything pre-1994 should be illegal right? E-shift in any trans other than 4L60E should be illegal right? Just trying to figure this out because I could really use it in my stocker, sometimes I miss that 1-2 shift by 100-200 rpm and my run is affected more than I'd like. That's what somewhat keeps this a driver's game and forces someone to be on point every time they go down the track. Why take that away?
