Hand operated throttle control

Stewart Way · 02-10-2010, 03:54 PM

Anyone have any experience with a "NHRA approved" hand operated throttle? Have a friend who had a MC accident and I'm looking at putting a hand throttle in his SST/bracket car.
Thanks

Stewart,
Blair Patrick should be able to clue you in, that is how he drives.

Stewart, you should do that. That just might get Ed back on the return road, a lot faster !! You're a good sport Stewart.

I use Mark IV Monarch hand controls in all my cars, race and street. Mine are set up to do both Brake and gas but if he only needs throttle That could be done easily.

Do you, or anyone else, have contact info for Blair? Have not found anything that I think is doable for a pro tree transbrake car. Thinking about moving the foot throttle to the left foot since it is his right leg that is the problem. Just not sure there is time on a pro tree to do everything needed. Teaching an old dog new tricks could be interesting.
Thanks
