I was talking about last season and yes it's 14 second car (at 5800 ft)
btw, it started life as a stock class car but for unforeseen circumstances that got put on hold while I recovered. again, it has nothing to do with my question.
no, I don't not run "class" but I DO run in a stick-shift series....
and if I am able to ever run in stock, it WILL affect me

So, "E Shift" being allowed in some of the older cars, in case you might race Stock again, is what you are concerned with?
Reaching for the shifter in a 14 second car is less of a deal than a nine second car.

funny, i'm in the other lane (at times)with guys with low9/high 8 second cars that don't seem to have a problem finding a shifter....does make me a bit nervous with me not having a cage (but that's next)

I really don't see what the big deal is, the EFI cars are allowed to run the Eshift and I know alot of people that cannot run Eshift in the older cars do the 1-2 shift by governor control. So what's all the excitement about. If you think its such an advantage why does everyone keep saying "how hard is it to shift your car?"
If you don't like it build a car where its allowed or petition NHRA to ban it all together!

Oh Eddie 4 speed. I ran my mid 13 sec. gremlin in stock for 11 years. I bet if I had put you in the car you couldn't have gotten the 1 to 2 shift right for quite a long time, maybe never. Just the facts.

Different combos have the 1-2 come up quicker than others. Once we had a way to playback the run, we found that we typically over-revved the 1-2 and almost always shorted the rpm on the 3-4. It really was no big deal, we just adjusted our shift light. The problem was solved. No need for e shift there.

I think the difference here is how the automated shift is done in some stockers vs Superstocker SS?

I am waiting for someone to say they need a delay box for safety reasons next...

If you can't shift a car by yourself why are you racing?

I originally manually shifted mine, often while still in the air. Never was a problem.
