Default Re: E shift ?

Why is it that EVERY time there is a change to the rules some of us seem to go bonkers trying to figure out what the new rules actually mean? Wouldn't it be easier for everyone, at least for new rules that aren't safety related, that all the "proposed" changes or additions be published on NHRARacer.com prior to their being adopted, so that WE, the folks that are being asked to adapt to them have time to ask questions if we don't understand the meaning of the new rules? Would it be so hard to give us, let's say, 30 days for our input? Obviously no one is saying that any racer input might have any effect on what is being proposed, but at least those of us who consistently have questions about any change from the "status quo" will have an opportunity to ask them, and maybe get an answer that makes sense.

And so far as the new shifter ruling, IMHO only vehicles that came factory equipped with a computer-controlled transmission module are allowed to use an electronically-controlled shifter. Whether that means that a vehicle built in 2013 that now has a Metric 200 and NOT a 4L80E is legal with an e-shifter is the question I would ask, given the opportunity.
