NHRA really needs to clarify this issue but my vote would be if it's an electronic transmission that was original equipment to that model and it was originally shifted by the computer, e-shift. Otherwise, you have a choice between shifting it yourself or playing with the governor and leaving it in drive.

I didn't write the rule ofcourse and I won't disagree with what you said either. Like I saI'd before it really didn't make any difference to me but if I can I will use it. I asked can I or can't I and got my answer. Ofcourse you have people asking "how hard is it to shift yourself" well answer is not much so why does everyone worry so much about it!
