spec button

Who would control the such "Spec Button"???? Be real!!! Racers have a lot of ingenuity!!! Just do away with all the electronics and special buttons and bring back the good 'ol fun days!!!!

OK then what's next,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, A SPEC DELAY BOX,,,,,,,,, I just don't think NHRA is understanding the CAN OF WORMS they are opening just by thinking about delay boxes in Comp and S/S....There is so much other stuff along with the box ,,,,,,,,,,,,it is unreal what electronics can do. Just my 2 cents worth..

It'd be easy to check to see if a button had, say, no more than 1/2" of 'throw' to it. Then everyone wouldn't have to buy new buttons, just the guys with the long throw switches.

Just put a removable collar on the switch and you will fool the inspectors on the amount of movement. Just do away with the switches and electronics and end of discussion.

Stock should be footbrake only. SS if they use boxes but block the tree so you cant cross over you might see the slower car have an advantage. Especially if it over a 1.5 second spot. What do you think Beard.

If that fools them, then they are not "inspectors". Most buttons I've seen have either been mounted in the steering wheel, on a mount next to the steering wheel, or next to the shifter -- all areas in which the 'back' of the button is not hidden.

But I'll agree... get rid of the stuff, and things become a whole lot simpler.

Herb - since I don't believe that delay boxes should be involved in S/SS racing, the rest of your question is a moot point. ;-)

Here's a concept. NHRA could take a position like NASCAR and the restricter plates - NHRA would issue you a standardized "spec" button at the beginning of the event - everybody's the same.
Can you imagine the crying!

Neat graphics and perfect comment. Really dont think a trans brake is needed in SS either...... Adjust your four link and go..

Wow, you put alot of effort into that post Mr. Ingognito. You must be getting some personal gain from it being "footbrake only"?,,?
But I don't agree with you on this. You will give more of an advantage to guys like Biondo, Fletcher, Bertozzi etc who grew up footbraking. Think about it.
