Re: E shift ?
pardon my stupidity but if the front end is up in the air, what good is it doing you to have both hands on the steering wheel?
you got rear steering or something?

Re: E shift ?
Tom, I don't know how high, or how far out, your car carries the wheels, but I want mine ponted straight ahead when they hit the ground. Don't it darting one way or the other. I have a mark on my steering wheel for a reference. You may be a lot better than me, with a much faster car. I don't know.

Re: E shift ?
Does anyone still use the governor shift on 1-2. I know back in the day that was a good choice for the quick 1-2 shift.
I guess that would still pass tech.

I raced stick cars a lot longer than I have an automatic, but only one ever needed shifted in the air, but not high enough I could not see the track, to I could tell where I was in my lane. The car I have now does. Bump steer has been corrected, but if the front wheels are not straight when they touch down... If you run a stick car, it really does not apply to you, does it? What car & class are you actually running right now?

seeing as you seem to be looking for an argument, I guess i'll oblige. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL UP IN THE AIR FOR???? and for the record, what does THAT have to do with shifting a stick OR auto? and as far as what class i'm running is irrelevant to my question but at the moment, i'm not running ANY class, you got a problem with that?

Re: E shift ?
Everyone leaves the line with both hands on the wheel (except maybe Wild Willie Borsch) because at some time a big steering correction was required to save the run. Much more difficult with one hand. This turns into habit and comfort.

Re: E shift ?
I meant you don't even race, but want to talk about rules that would not even apply to you, if you were actually even racing. Would it be that Rambler in your profile pic? A 13 or 14 second car?
