That button is removable, so that if he wants to switch the car over to SS he can hook the TB up. That is all that it is. He has been working on his driving technique since the car left the shop, and he is merely trying to find his groove.

We spent multiple conversations discussing the rules when we were building the car, because he was adamant about being legal, and so are we.

Just let it be.....how many times do you get to take a ride in a DP stocker? I thought it was neat to see a car I worked on national TV!!

Agree'd. Air time is air time. Maybe soon all us S/SS guys will have on board Jegs camera's with the little Jegs decal on the dash or front bars like the pro's.

So the car also has a trans brake that is not hooled up? Explane the blocker that he clearly grabed and thru. I don't care if every car in the lanes has them they are not legal.

No, it doesn't have a TB, they aren't legal in Stock, remember? But is it illegal to plan ahead in case he wanted to put a trans with a TB?
As far as the blinders, I have no idea because I didn't put them in. I put the button mount in. I only explain what I know about firsthand, apparently a concept lost on this thread

Ben, it's a concept that's been lost on the internet. :)

And Adger, I never thought you were the sort to own a Matty Box...perhaps a NOS bottle in the trunk without any plumbing would be a nice touch as well...it would be about as analogous...

Seriously, what was the UFO / GPS wacko guy name a few years ago? I can't remember...

Who was that goof ball a few years back that had all the GPS electro whatever gizmo info he was going to share?

Jeggie has the button with NO WIRES attached to simulate letting go, but his foot is whats doing the work with a button on the pedal. It's simply an effort to simulate the style or manner that he's always driven with. But lets face it, he's a great racer, but he hasn't exactly been tearing up Stock eliminator. So for the conspiracy theorists.....

As for the blinder, I have no comment. Every friggin' car in the lanes has all kinds of bull**** hanging up to block the tree. Last I knew, this was a FULL TREE CLASS, as in watch all the lights come down and leave when you feel it's appropriate.

If you want to leave on the top or a pro tree, they have classes for that...

IMHO...
Amen!

Thanks Mark,
What a memory!
Now I won't have to be trying to remember Mr. Raymond...AKA. Top Fool..
I think it was back in 2006-2007 when he made is appearance/posts. I did a search and it wouldn't go back that far. The last post that commented about Top fool was made on 10- 22 -2007 by Robert Pare Racing

Very cool in car camera...you are right Ben....I have an in car video camera in my car...I've had more friends/family watch it and get a better idea of what goes on for a driver in a drag car. Peeks their interest.

Joe, your in car camera shot was very cool (even if it was you kicking my *** lol).

As for Jeggie; sometimes it would be nice if people saw the car in person before jumping to conclusions and bashing him. He is putting alot of effort in stock eliminator which I think is very cool. He's legit and a very talented racer who is working hard to win in stock and that will consistently win sooner than later. The hand motion in the video is just a "motion" for technique purposes....not a transbrake nor is it a hand activated two step.

I'm not asking you to give him a break because of who he is (like some people mentioned) but to give him a break because he is legit and works as hard at it as anybody I have seen.
