Stockers....buttons.....check This Out

I kept watching and thinking until Michael broke the ice...

Why worry about a button when the car next to you has a automatic shifter...

If we say that the button racer is legal, no boxes, etc. in this argument, I feel it is a little more consistant. I raced my stocker with and without a button. With good adjustable shocks and blocking the tree, I was very consistant (at times) with the button. More so than with just the brake and gas.

But how much more of an advantage is an auto shifter...? Especially low gear three speed trans! First gear with a metric and 5.13's comes quick! Wheels in the air, or just settling, and with the 305, missing a shift just a little really changed the et. If one can play, let them all play... is it a safety thing? like the add in dragster says! I do not think so, but thats just my opinion.

I feel there are bigger fish to fry.

Good luck to all.
