I am thinking that if you can't at least manually shift an automatic transmission, maybe driving a racecar is not for you.

Maybe Nhra should rename Stock eliminator to "Bracket Stock Eliminator" ?

So the “fun” is gone when you don’t push/pull your shifter twice?
If that is true, the easy solution is don’t use an air shifter but I’ll bet most of your competitors will. ![]() Last edited by 1320racer; 03-07-2025 at 06:16 PM. |

The easy solution is to leave the rules alone and quit catering to the weenies of the world. If they need automatic shifting and can't figure it out within the current rules, THEY should do something else....

Ah, yes. They are doing something else and they tell us it's the future of our sport remember?
I can see the future already, tons and tons of Junior dragsters with no gear shifting.. Better get yourself one before you're left out. Quote:

As you stated, your opinion. Meanwhile, I’ve spoken to numerous stock eliminator racers whose opinion is changes such as this are welcome and more is needed to save the class. Like it or not. Stock eliminator is bracket stock as Rich has stated.

The big difference in this conversation is that I actually participate in the class....
