If he`s not going through the brake light switch and with a button in the pedal, slap the brake in a spot next to the button. Either that, activate the 2 step and dump your opponent big time!

I wouldn't be good enough to remember to step on the peddle beside the switch. I'm guessing it wouldn't be good to activate the 3500 rev limiter at 7000 but maybe it wouldn't do much at all.

Hi,

This almost too easy................

Mount a N/O (normally open) switch that is activated only in 1st gear...

Wire it through the pedal switch, through the shifter switch and then the 2-step......

I don't know what shifter you use but it is pretty easy with a shifter mounted switch....Worst case would be to mount it against the shift arm at the transmission.....

Take a look and figure out what works best.....

Anything that can make a racecar idiot proof is worth the effort...

Just sayin'
Bob

That's what I'd do but my shifter doesn't get moved after the burnout until I'm done with the run. I'll just put a toggle switch on the dash by the steering wheel. Same place as my Camaro.

I never put a of/on switch on the two step, normally I set them on about 700lbs brake pressure thinking that if you put 700lbs pressure on the brakes at wide open throttle you will probably wreck anyway. Of course if you are using a manual switch on the brake pedal this doesn't apply, I always use an adjustable pressure switch installed in a brake line.
