Most of my time has been spent In a Super Gas car. So I'm familiar with air shifters.

But not in Stock. I want to go Stock racing, partially because they don't have all that crap and you have to drive the car.

If a slush box racer can not shift his trans he should not be in the drivers seat.

I am also very much against the air/electric shifter rule.

Do your cars have automatic 1-2 shift capability?

No. If you are driving one of my cars you are pushing a shift leaver.

I don't run a two step to stage/launch either.

I probably will not put one in my car. Kinda like the ability to adjust ET a little by varying 2-3 shift.

What a time we live in where how you shift your automatic transmission becomes such an emotional trigger.

Seems simple run a stick if you want to shift every gear yourself. Run automatic if you want the option to do it either way. I could care less on how my opponent does it. Blocking, shifting or stripe takers still won?t help racers who struggle. I?d prefer every one of my opponents have an air bottle. It?s one more thing that can go wrong with there run. Stripe takers will lose more runs then they will help with. Blocking is a great tool but you better be able to switch back when it gets dark. I understand the purity aspect of Stock Eliminator but her virginity was lost when we started allowing aftermarket components. I?m not the brightest bulb but I?m pretty sure edlebrock heads never came from the factory. Same could be said for Caltracs, afco shocks. Now that I pissed off everyone here let?s just realize there is nothing stock about what we do now and join together and support any group that tries to give us a place to compete. Instead of hassling and bitching about every detail.
