What does that mean to NHRA? Nothing, I'm sure.

I guess everything is up to interpretation. I can use any corporate trans I want and I have a computer controlled car so what year the transmission came in the car is irrelevant in my opinion.

No. Shouldn't be open to interpretation. Just not being enforced correctly by you know who in California.
You think that 92 TPI computer will run a 4L60-E?
(The answer is no)

Good luck in 2018

I had one in my old j/sa 74 Nova for a sort time mr Paul had told me it was legal and mr Travis explained it was not. I did not have it hid it was mounted on the dash in plain sight. I had already been through tech at about five races and Travis walked by my car and seen it. He asked me if it was doing anything to the transmission and of course I said yes. He said to have it out before first round. I took it out.
The only problem I have with the rule is if one car can have it in stock all should be and please don't tell me to pick another car. Everybody picks there car because they like that car most of the time. What im saying is most the e-shift cars are running a 200 or 350 trans that did not come in them so whats the difference. And I know you can do the auto 1-2 shift. Sorry for being so long its just NHRA don't play by the same rules. By the way the E-shift is legal in any car to run a shift light.

Here`s a question. Would a late 60`s or early 70`s big or small block car be legal to run e-shift?

The easy answer is no

Pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, etc. controls and shifters in all noncomputer (older car like mine) -controlled electronic-fuel-injected(car without a solenoid shifted transmission FROM THE FACTORY) vehicles prohibited

[The Hawk]

That's what I figured. Policing that will be as easy as policing Stick racers not using a clutch at each shift. Pretty much another rule that will affect no one.

Easy to see that air ram cylinder on the shifter, and a CO2, or compressed air, bottle.
