It may not be hiding it, on the DP there is a bracket up under the dash for the brake light switch I will say its a bitch to adjust and I havent got it quite right. BUT the bracket is there and the switch in place, once I get it "right" itll be slick I think....

But working on it ? Well not pleasant.....NOTHING under the dash is on this car....

Id really like an adjustable pressure switch on the brake line, anyone know of a good, easily adjustable one (PN ?) I was thinking Granger or a hydraulic supply house ? Or ?

Because yeah its a bitch the more I think about it......for us it wasnt hiding it, rather making use of what was there......

Jim,
It's very simple. If you think they are cheating put up the protest money and let the tech guys decide!!!!!!!!!!!

My personal opinion is No 2-steps in stock, but we know that ain't going to happen.

Gene Kelly had the best 2-step --John Trovolta was a close second--:rolleyes:

And John Dillender was betrayed by a red light.Oops,I mean a lady in a red dress.:>)

Protesting someone these days is like throwing your money down at the crap tables.You
don't know what the interpretation of the rule will be.

Re: Attn: NHRA / IHRA Tech .....here we go again ..
 

Two Steps are Legal, as long as they are activated by the brake pedal. Not my choice for Stock, but .... it's the rule..... I only ask a question, " Why go through the hassel of mounting it up under the dash?" I must be getting lazy, I know I'm getting old, and this isn't my first Rodeo. AND, I give the tech guys a lot more credit than that. --- PROTEST--- Give me a break !!!... I do this for fun, and nothing else.... PS ....I also noticed a really nicely machined, Billet, Mounting Bracket with a button on it, mounted next to a racers Steering Wheel. I asked, what the button was used for? I was told; "It use to be my Two Step and I still use it a bracket races, but I don't have it hooked up at NHRA/IHRA races." I told him the same thing with my Nitrous Bottle......JB.

Re: Attn: NHRA / IHRA Tech .....here we go again ..
 

So If I drive with hand controls where am I allowed to put the switch?

Re: Attn: NHRA / IHRA Tech .....here we go again ..
 

I would imagine they would concede to bend the rule,justifiably,in that situation.

Re: Attn: NHRA / IHRA Tech .....here we go again ..
 

I posted a link to a device that is being used by some Stock racers. It appears to have been removed.

I don't know what it is but assumed it was an adjustable brake pressure switch.

If NHRA says it's legal then it is...

2 steps and blinders are being used by many racers......

If NHRA says it's legal....it is.....

Re: Attn: NHRA / IHRA Tech .....here we go again ..
 

Isnt it about time for ALL of these driver aids to be outlawed in stock AND S/S? Air shifters, 2 steps, trans brakes, blinders, pressure switches, all make it easy to cheat. Isnt it about time to put the driver back into the equasion?

Re: Attn: NHRA / IHRA Tech .....here we go again ..
 

Jim,
If you do this 'FOR FUN" then why worry about it. If you are not worried about it then why start this post.
If you are worried about it then talk to the tech guys at the next event.

I trid the 2-step on my wagon once and it was activated by the brake light switch under the dash.

Never raced with it though. Either the switch or me was very inconsistent but it never worked.
