If they pass that rule, every auto car in the lanes will have an air shifter... |

We regularly run our bracket cars in pro, which allows air/electric, and they don’t. They also allow transbrakes and we typically footbrake (haven’t had Transbrake hooked up for 7 years now). Just because it’s available doesn’t mean we will all have it. I still footbrake the Mustang when I run it in stock and hope to do the same with the Ranger once we get it redone. I’m not firm on whether I want them in the class or not. But I am firm that I want the class to actually speak up on the issue and do what is truly “wanted” and “in the best interest” of the class as a whole. My .02 worth very little of course! I’m just a young pup in a slow car that’s totaled when I have to change the tires as someone once put it on here Last edited by Ellis V Buth; 04-04-2025 at 08:47 PM. Reason: Question Marks |

POLL Within a Poll
I figure we might as well all know exactly what we're talking about here.. Who is racing a car in Stock with an original electronically controlled transmission? 1, Billy Nees next ....

I don’t know what all the fuss is? With that damn bright shift light screaming at me to shift I’ll bet the difference with a rpm/timed air shifter is barely perceivable. Heck we leave the line on a bright light trying to get good reaction times, how much different is that than shifting on time from another bright light?

I read in the rule book last night the air and electric shifters will be permitted in stock eliminator in 2026. So it looks like it is happening. Auto shift is legal now if it is done internally as a function of the transmission Also legal if the transmission is shifted by the ECM. I guess they are doing it to even things up with the older cars that haven?t been allowed auto shift previously. Of course you do not have to make the switch if you don?t want to.

Is it legal to run an internal electronic solenoid shifted valve body in a car like mine that only had a computer controlled TCC from the factory? Or is it only legal to run an internal electronic solenoid shifted valve body in a car that came with an internal electronic solenoid shifted valve body?

The Dodge Hellcats are listed in the NHRA guide. The factory transmission had a transmission brake as Stock. Would it pass tech?
