>> As for the safety factor, if you are scared to pull the shifter with the front end hung up

If you're steering with any number of hands with the wheels in the air, umm... you're not doing anything. Pro Stockers drive with one hand. Where does an automatic shifter enter in as a safety device?

While we're talking safety, how about fire jackets mandatory for all drivers running 11.49-quicker?

Michael, what is wrong with the Jacket Rule?

[mikev]

I feel that everyone required to wear a helmet should also be required to wear a jacket-that's everyone, right?

As far as the transmissions and e-shifts, no one has mentioned that most of the cars that are now allowed to use the e-shift were not even available with a Turbo 200! Should they have to run a 700R4? Did they have a computer controlled transmission? I've got two stockers that (I think) were available from the factory with a Turbo 200. Why can't I let it shift automatically, whether it's electronically controlled or not? I'd probably make the 2-3 shift manually, anyway, so it's really no different than a Turbo 350 with the auto 1-2 that I'm currently running.

How do you get in touch with Len? E-Mail?

Why hasn't anyone answered Woodro's question about stick cars?

[Rich Biebel]

I was wondering the same thing about the handshift guys. My ears been listening to drag cars for many years and the stickshift cars I hear today don't always sound like what was normal years ago.....Maybe my ears are shot

[LouisJeffery]

This situation could be cured without changing the rule. Just add to the rule that if a electronic transmission is used it must be a production electronic transmission. No adding electronic shift solenoids to non electronic transmissions. Nobody ever produced a production electronic shift 3 speed automatic. So NO 200,904,C-4. Unless you want to shift manually.

adjustable buttons...electric or air shifters....AHFS games...how fun are we having anymore...really? everyone is looking for a way to get the car/driver more concistant...(wich is bracketracing to me) rather than try to go faster(because of the current factoringsystem awards that in a fine way)..that stock and superstock became sort of a bracketrace back in the days was needed because the diversity of cars and classes became alot better ofcourse,but when you hear some people in this class want to get rid off heads up runs,change the redlight rule,keep asking for driving-aids...i just dont know anymore...dosen't sound like the same type of racing and group of people that i used to know and love....

sorry..again...this post was about why some could have e-shift and others not....i support the idea that it follows :can only be used in transmission that had them from factory!maybe we will se those newer trans on older cars...
