New shifter rule poll

James Findell · 04-03-2025, 09:33 PM

After racing all 3 types of cars last year (4-speed, automatic & air-shifter) I discovered the shifter type doesn't play a role in whether I won a round or lost. Leaving on time and driving the finish line seem to be more crucial to winning, which I discovered I am not very good at anymore...

The same guys will win most rounds because they can repeat rounds if you gave them a tricycle.

My preferred car to race for a fun factor is my 4-speed.

As a mentor told my once after I asked him why he switched to a 4-speed, he stated "they won't let me run a 10-speed".

I want to win, but the fun factor is hard to beat.

If I am watching my daughter go down the track, I'll take the air shifter option.

The only advantage I see on utilizing an Air Shifter personally is having more time to find an opponent, which I believe is well within the realm of the high speed cars we are currently competing against who have them.
