Air Shifter

There is a provision for having an Air/solenoid activated shifter. I have a letter from NHRA that states I can have an electric solenoid on my shifter but it must be activated by the driver not a timer or rpm switch. So I have a button on my hand controls to activate the solenoid and change gears. I have not looked at the rule book lately but I thought they had a provision in it for a situation like this.
Good chance this is not the situation in the COPO case but it is possible.
