Then we have a solution. Allow two steps, but only with a pedal activation. No advantage for sticks or automatics, and if you want to run one, you can, if you don't, footbrake away.

I have not been racing long, but learned footbraking. I have now made 14 passes using the two step and I must say it has greatly helped my consistency downtrack as I am leaving at the same RPM every time - still looking for the consistency off the line but I understand totally that comes with practice practice. And I am still trying to figure out a consistent way to stage with the two step, but with only 14 attempts, I don't expect miracles.

There are SO SO SO many ways to lose in this sport. And with a slower car, I have an additional one with the first opportunity to redlight (I know, another discussion). Keep the two steps please, since this essentially is a bracket class and the consistency they offer helps a newbie like me even the playing field even just a bit. And for those "footbrake only" guys, try it some time. You might not be so quick to get them out of the sport. Might even want one on your car.
