Re: NMCA Good OR BAD ?
Thats how its done.....I raced nothing but 4 speeds in the 60's and 70's (except for one 65 426 Street Wedge Plymouth) WITHOUT electronic aids. The last was a SS/I STICK (Chrysler A-833 trans) 68 Camaro until 78. Then I went to a glide (no trans brake or 2-step) to keep the 12 bolt alive a little longer. We were not allowed Danas and 9" fords in a Chevy back then.

Re: NMCA Good OR BAD ?
If you notice its just the younger generation that really dont know. Its what us older guys got used to doing. Drag racing has evolved to where some couldnt race with out all the "bells and whistles such as 2- steps, air or elec. shifters, slider clutches and we even had to really use the clutch to shift gears when the pointy needle was on the right number (or by ear) instead of a shift light.....imagine that !

I drove a stick car nearly 30 years ago, and last year I drove one again. I've driven them both ways, it can be done, and it can be done fairly easily. The two step doesn't make it possible, it just makes it considerably easier. Lee Shepherd hated a two step, he said the weird noise wrecked his concentration.
