Does that mean you have to hold your breath now?

The air shifter is not new. Maybe they decided to enforce it. There are a few out there.

Re: Nhra releases 2017 rule book amendments
 

Yes there are,.....It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission....

Here's a good idea..Let's not have tech at Nat'l meets..Save money.

Re: Nhra releases 2017 rule book amendments
 

when could we ever have them?????

Re: Nhra releases 2017 rule book amendments
 

Some of us could -

Pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, etc. controls and shifters in all non-computer controlled electronic fuel injected vehicles prohibited.

Added on 5/30/2017 -
The use of air assisted shift is prohibited in all Stock applications.

The word "pneumatic" is still there, so is that somehow now different from "air"?

I did ask for permission and got it granted I keep the letter in my glove-box. Mine is electric not air but I assume it would fall in the same category.
In my case the shifter must still be a function of the driver and is activated by a switch on my hand control.

If I get back out I will probably have to find out if my letter is still any good.

There were cars with them that were let go, then 1 or 2 more had them. Time to enforce the rules.
