The new air shifter rule does not require anyone to use one.
There is already a lack of new blood coming into the sport. The costs will continue to rise from astronomical, to unobtainium.

Austin where does it stop? I would like fuel injection, four-link rear, CNC ported heads, air shifter, turbo's, blowers, Comp styled pistons, and any other addition that another competitor may have. I'm sure there are the stick shift guys that would like to use an air shifted clutchless transmissions (contrary to another post ProMod's are using automated air shifters, I do not know about any of the other classes).

PS, I personally know of three racers that are using an E-shift in 60's and 70's cars that had non-electronic transmissions. easy to find in a non-invasive inspection.

The secondary question will be...When stock and superstock are combined will NHRA pay out for the second car a driver who routinely enters the two classes? or...will double entrees be allowed. Then in an effort to level the playing field, will other drivers be allowed to double enter a single car, or will there be buybacks.

Once again Austin...where will this DEI program to level the playing field stop?
