My post was directed to Lenny and NHRA. Now that you guys have "admitted" that adjustable buttons have delay capibilties, and since delay devices are not allowed in Stock Elim. Are adjustable buttons considered delay devices?
Since only approved buttons will be allowed in Comp. and SS in 2008. Will only approved, non- adjustable,(non - delay) buttons be allowed as two step buttons in Stock Elim.?
Why not take it one step further.....At the Top of the Food Chain, ie Fuel Classes,(lol)..... the forward motion of the car must be done by the drivers feet, ie - The Bernstein Terrible Towel Rule of the 80s." And by all indications, Two Steps aren't going any where." Why don't you guys approve a spec, NON- Adjustable button for Stock Elim.. Then, mandate that the button be mounted on the brake or clutch pedal. It's not a completely level playing field, but, it's a start.
Don't get me wrong, my vote is for no buttons whatsoever. No buttons is way too easy to tech, and eliminates 80-90% chance of cheating. And why would we ever make it that easy.
