New shifter rule poll

[Dyno]

So, let?s say I have a 69 Camaro running in A/SA with a Turbo 200 transmission and my opponent is running a 99 Camaro in A/SA with a Turbo 200. Heads up race, but he/she has the TA auto shift in their car. Why should they have a precise shifting advantage over me? Just because they have the newer car? About time NHRA is making things equal for everyone. Dyno

If they outlaw the automatic trans shifting itself does this mean the transmissions shifted by a governor will be outlawed also? Many racers already have a valve body that is adjustable to shift anytime you want it to.

That's a good point but IMO a 69 Camaro in A/SA should have a Turbo 400.

As we all know, neither car came with a Turbo 200, but they both use them.

Paul Precht, while I fully understand your comment about the '69 Camaro
having a Turbo 400 in it, the reality is that the horse is so far out of the barn,
that the horse out of the barns offspring have gone to the big glue factory
in the sky, a long time ago!!

PS- the guy that built the valve bodies for the 400's name was Adam. His
wife Eve ran the front office.

So far on here I have yet to read the real reason that the external shifting devices were
going to be allowed in 2026, from my experience in Super Stock the agility to change the shift points between rounds to change the et was a benefit for me ,and others, it has evolved to not only change the shift points between round to control the shift points along with other electronic functions ,I am not going to go into all that electronics have helped in et predictions , again it all has to do with a level playing field with the new cars with electronics ,and the old cars with some electronics but not all the new cars have .

I mentioned earlier I don?t care one way or the other but if It?s yes or no, I?ll vote no.
I have the ?agility ? to change shift points between rounds also, it?s called shift light. Just move the little dial on the tach and boom, my shift point has changed 😁
For me it?s ?keep it simple? too much wiring, air bottles and timers is just more ways to have a problem crop up at the wrong time. From my old days of running super gas I know the more buttons, linkage, air bottles and timers I can adjust the more ways I find to lose.

Lot of opposition, including myself....... so who is actually for this change?

How did this get on the rulemakers radar, and why is it already in the rule book one year ahead of time.

Wouldn't these people be happier in super pro on Saturday nights?
