NHRA seeking input on Delay Boxes/Switches

I am completely against delay boxes in S/S. There should not be any electronic delay in S/S but what we need to know before we voice our opinions is what they have in mind for a spec button. Before we had LED lights it did not matter if the button was 1 inch long or a zero button, you could adjust the car. Now we are out of car adjustments. As long as the release is mechanically adjustable what does it matter of the length or type of button? Buttons are just a tuning tool just like RPM, tire pressure, front end travel, shock settings, and etc. If they want a spec button with no adjustments or travel that is fine but they will have to adjust the tree so a driver can be green. My button length is 2 inches to 2.5 inches, I leave at 3600 RPM with 24 PSI in the front tires and I block the tree, there is no way to be green with no travel in the button.
