I guess you did not read my prior post. Can we say Gracia as in Danny and his "Family Tree" SS/AH project unless my under cover "spies" have it all wrong. I guess he cant drive a "real" 4 speed running in the 8's and needs all the help he can get.....LOL.

Great minds think alike! I was thinking the same thing and have been told that he can't !! Funny how the word gets around! As I remember when GM supplied him a Pro Stock Truck he had a hard time with it!

Maybe he should put a automatic and a mechanical delay box in it like everyone else.
Hell the Auto's have the record even with the added weight.

Tony, I raised hell for years about all the Loooong buttons might as well be talking to the wall. I was told once by the IHRA nat. tech director that the guys had to have them or they'd red light, nearly floored me with that answer. I've come to realize "when in Rome". Joe

Sorry Terry, I didn't scroll back.Just to be clear, are you telling me that Danny Gracia would use his positon of authority to further the racing program for his son? Does his son own the car or is there a Big $$ team involved? I thnk the N in NHRA would have to mean Nepotism if that was the case. That has to be an unfounded rumour. I can't believe that a person in that position would get anywhere near that! In Illinois, we only allow our Governor to do that type of thing...for awhile anyway.

Who knows.....It may be all just rumor??????? I have come to believe nothing I read, very little of what I hear, and almost nothing I see. Just passing on what I heard and giving the stick racers on here food for thought for those who wanted to find out who lit this fuse on the s##t bomb.

X STOCKER........Nepotism means helping a relative, next of kin, relation, in finding and aquiring a job, help with the job, or just making it easier for them to acheve an objective by giving out special favors.

James,
Did you see former governor Rob on Letterman? Told Letterman he always wanted to be on his show
in the worst way. Dave replied Well your'e on it in the worst way!!!
With clutchless IF YOU HOLD in gear at slow speeds like going to water box as example when
you slow down trans will ratchet on sliders and stay in gear this is barely above idle in low gear, but going down track racing if you lift or blow tires off bad will come out of gear and if you try to put back in goes to high and will wipeout slider and face plate on high gear,when in high gear you can lift off/on gas but have to hold trans in gear.
I don't know about any other stick guys but my hand never leaves the shifter anyway.
I'll give up stick cars when they pry my cold dead fingers off the shifter.
