Default Line lock and Two step in a clutch car

Question, are you allowed to run a line lock and two step at the starting line when you are running a stick shift combo. And if so, can it be wired to a button or does it have to be wired some other way?
Thanks, Chuck

I use a 3-step and did have a discussion with Div. 2 tech guys a couple of years ago at Brandenton. I asked to speak to Bill Holt and explained I need a control for the water box, starting line and down track in case something breaks during a shift. He agreed and that was the end of that. No questions in Div. 4 or 5 also no questions in I.H.R.A. Hope that helps.

I had an MSD relay set up to work the three step and the line lock in the G/S car. If you held the line lock button, you were on the burnout chip. When you staged, the switch on the clutch pedal switched you to the starting line chip, and held the line lock engaged, so you didn't need to hold the line lock switch. When you released the clutch, that switched you to the high side chip for the run.

I wired mine this way and it works perfect. I have to use the clutch to shift so even thought there is a button on my pedal it doesn't activate unless first powered by the button on the shifter. If you need a schematic I can give you one. The only thing is, i have to flick a toggle switch after the burnout which turns the 3 step on so I don't know if you are comfortable with adding another step in your staging process.

the "toggle switch" is the missing piece of the puzzle.

In stock, is it OK to just have the two-step wired to the button on the shifter?

I don't think it is. The rules state that a two step must be pedal activated. Get any clarification in writing from Glendora.
