All in fun, Michael.

I'm waiting for someone wanting to ban all stick cars because the clutch petal has such a long stroke, it can be used as a delay device.

So what is the deal?

Are we only allowed to use the e-shift valve body? or can we use an air or electric shifter?

While it was just rumor mill, I heard that IHRA was *not* going to follow NHRA on this one.

Without trying to give away any 'trade secrets', I can't for the life of me figure out why you would *want* an automatic shifter in a Stocker! Y'all can figure that one out for yourselves... But if you want 'em, more power to you! :cool:

You really think I want an air shifter Michael?? You should know better than that. I am still kinda upset that we cant afford to keep the clutch in there for a while.

Controled by RPM, TIMER, or TIME TO RPM? Several posts back a knowlegdable racer just gave you the senario. Anything that shifts (tracks) your car based on anything other than a needle on a tach and your eyes, has the potential for supplying a dead on run.

electric shifter???clearly a step in the wrong direction BUT as long as E-shifts are legal,,,then it should be available to everyone,,,,Im just glad they seen fit to save racers a few bucks and allow the cheap solenoid shifters

Patent 5051935 will probably be legal next.
