I agree totally. Not that I'm smack dab in the middle of a 10.5 60 Corvette project, but I love the little motors and manual transmissions. I love Super/Stock and Stock, but if you watch the crowd reaction of, say a 10 Cobalt and then a crowd reaction to a moidified Chevy II or Corvette yankin gears....it's just more exciting. And that's what folks watch racing for....excitment! IMO. I would pay double to watch Modified and/or some type of drag racing where the driver actually did something between the starting line and 1250 feet. I did the S/G stuff, delay box, trans brake, throttle stop, let go of the button, then ride along, manage the finish line and that's it. I belive the enhancements mentioned do indeed provide more consistency. I will be using these in my SS/LA entry. But would love to see the driver be responsible for more of the run. No T-Brake, no air shift. No electronics, no Pneumatics. Just my opinion folks
