Stupid thread? This thread was started to try and get a definite answer since the next season is fast approaching. Some racers do plan ahead!

Why would you change it? Do you have a better chance winning with a clutchess over a clutch assisted. If the rules change you can buy it later.

Steve / Horace great job with the old FE motor - quite an accomplishment, can't beat old age and treachery - hey Horace.

I use my clutch pedal for economic reasons - keeps the run interesting as well

Chutchless trannys are for people who can not drive a regular 4 speed.....lol. Kind of like the air/elec. shifters for automatics in the cars who use these devices.

Like I said, the stupidest post I have seen here in quite a while!

Super Sport answered his own question, before he even asked it.

2010 NHRA rulebook, page 128, TRANSMISSION, Manual

"Clutchless transmission prohibited. Clutch must be used to change gears in a conventional manner."
