So the “fun” is gone when you don’t push/pull your shifter twice?
If that is true, the easy solution is don’t use an air shifter but I’ll bet most of your competitors will. ![]() Last edited by 1320racer; 03-07-2025 at 06:16 PM. |

The easy solution is to leave the rules alone and quit catering to the weenies of the world. If they need automatic shifting and can't figure it out within the current rules, THEY should do something else....

Ah, yes. They are doing something else and they tell us it's the future of our sport remember?
I can see the future already, tons and tons of Junior dragsters with no gear shifting.. Better get yourself one before you're left out. Quote:

As you stated, your opinion. Meanwhile, I’ve spoken to numerous stock eliminator racers whose opinion is changes such as this are welcome and more is needed to save the class. Like it or not. Stock eliminator is bracket stock as Rich has stated.

You know I guy that's been involved in Stock Eliminator for more than 30 years? WOW, that's impressive! I hate there's no trophy for that. An accomplishment like that surely deserves recognition....

I hate for you that you can’t control the rule changes in stock eliminator. Rule changes that will make the class more competitive and more appealing to racers that show up to win the eliminator!

Fact is, given our demographic it will be similar to the likes of participation trophies for the entire little league team LOL
