If that is true, the easy solution is don?t use an air shifter but I?ll bet most of your competitors will.
No. That is not the answer. This constant dumbing down of Stock Eliminator is, in my opinion, wrecking the class.

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.

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.

The big difference in this conversation is that I actually participate in the class....

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!

Daran, that is quite an accomplishment, and is deserved of a trophy.
Prior to ordering it, I will have to wait for approval from the "King Of
Stock Eliminator." As he seems to have an opinion on all things to do
with our class, the pending insight to this award should be coming
along shortly. In the event that the "King" is not available, I will put
a call into the 'Prince", Glen Cromwell.

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