Very well-put post, Bernie, and a good explanation of the how's and why's.

Really, the only place where we differ in opinion is whether the statement "2-steps and buttons have been used to limit some variables" is a good thing or a bad thing for the long term in our sport. I think it puts my view in a nutshell -- I enjoy learning, driving, and overcoming the challenges of our sport without an electronic variable-limiting aid.

Two guys this year have won track championships in delay box categories, off the foot: Billy Kirpins, Jr. at Lebanon Valley, and Chris Plott at Mooresville (who won Stock in his one and only attempt at it last year). I used to hoof it in Super Pro now and then. I think I may go try it again next year.
