New shifter rule poll

[Tom Young]

No, not in Stock.

[Dyno]

What is good and allowed for one, should be allowed by all. Why should someone have an advantage over another? I have raced both with and without. I personally like the consistency of using it. Dyno

I run a stick in stock, I say NO.

I'm running SS so I have no dog in this fight but I'm against any rule that puts Stock closer to Super Stock.

[71" R/T]

Add me as a no.

[CarlaPittau]

I cannot vote as I race in Sweden, but we race by NHRA rules, so I will just offer my opinion if I may.

I love Super Stock, and it makes sense that their rules are not the same as ours in Stock. But why thin the difference between the two classes? Why should we wish to not even shift gear in our cars? Many use the governor already to shift 1st to 2nd, if you are so concerned, why not use the governor to shift 2nd to 3rd? Why robotise your car?

Isn't it boring if it's too easy?

Next it will be transbrake, then delay box, then we may well all move to Super Gas or do away with the driving altogether and just operate our cars out of a console on our laptops. Then we can sit in our motorhomes while we race. I am 66 and will race as long as I am able to get in the car. If you can get in the car, you can shift gears. If you cannot, you shouldn't get in the car at all.

It's a NO for me. Stop changing Stock. We run the class because of the rules and specs we have to follow, that's the challenge.

There is an absolute advantage to the car shifting itself. In a faster car, if you miss the shift in first gear, your ET is affected. Some cars go faster, and some cars, like mine, slow down if you miss the shift.

If you want to have an RMP-activated shifter, go race one of the Super classes.

Idea...pay incentives for using less nannies on your car!

- Footbrake vs 2 step on auto cars = $250 bonus
- No auto shift = $250 bonus
- Clutch vs auto = $500 bonus!

[Mike Taylor 3601]

I like the ideal of everyone, I'm racing shifting themselves, but I'll be letting a clutch out with my left foot and grabbing gears with my right hand and either way, win or lose I just had fun!!
I'm right handed and left footed.

Say no to air shifters in Stock Eliminator! If you want air shifters, roller lifters, etc., etc., go race Super Stock. Simple as that.
