geez guys... my heartfelt thanks for all of the support... and i will petition NHRA again for the three speed... hell i might just show up at indy with one

i admit the last time it was discussed (late 1980's) i was told it was like the olds/buick hydramatic with the switch pitch convertor... but mr holder assures me it has two gearsets plus direct drive so i agree it is a no-brainer... however we are dealing with NHRA tech which also fits the no-brains description.
anyway rest assured a letter to garcia/lang/wesley and travis is in the email today...
