I heared only a micro switches with no delay. If anyone has some new info on this subject that sure would help me out. I tried calling NHRA tech but no answer due to the Hoildays.
Thanks J.P.

The only switch you can have manually is for a line lock. Any other buttons such as for the two-step, must be on the brake pedal.

This is the latest rule:

ADD: Two step permitted. Two step must be foot activated through brake pedal, clutch pedal, or pressure switch. Hand release prohibited.

This is exactly why I am leaning toward getting rid of the 2-step and footbraking it. The rule seems so muddy and I foresee many changes over the next couple of years. Not to mention the interpretations by different tech guys. They can't toss me for a bad switch when it isn't there.

It's pretty simple.

If you want a two-step, it better be activated off of the brake pedal.

I suggest the pressure activated switch.
