Jegs in car stocker video

HELLO!!! No blinders or finger activated buttons allowed. He has to just imagine there is a pretend button if he needs it. Unless the rules have changed this week. Would anyone mind if I hook up a trans brake and delay box --- I just won't hook it up. PROMISE! LOL

Sounds more like pandering to a sponsor to me. He also got to run an illegal rear crossmember first time out!

These are the rules off the NHRA site.

The rule book is only for people that do not give NHRA tons of money(IE sponsors).

Tape of any kind prohibited on any windshield or
window. The use of any temporary or permanent shielding,
including paint, that obstructs the driver’s vision (e.g., blinders,
staging aids) and that is attached to the helmet, window or
windshield is prohibited. Permitted shielding not to exceed 4 inches
by 8 inches is permitted at this time provided that (a) it has a
permanent attachment to the vehicle, such that it requires tools for
removal, and (b) that the shielding is deemed safe by the driver in
the driver’s judgment and so long as the driver can demonstrate

DELAY BOXES/DEVICES
Two-step permitted. Two-step must be foot activated through brake
pedal, clutch pedal, or pressure switch. Hand release prohibited.
See General Regulations 8:2, 8:8.

I didn't see the video so I don't know about whether the blinder is too big or mounted in a way that would make it illegal but if he has a button on the wheel that isn't wired to the two step or line lock then it is legal.

At approx 5:37 CDT while watching the Bristol races they had his run on Split screen..(3 other cars) in car camera, lower left of the screen.Looked to me like he released the button, ripped the blinder off..... blinder went to the right as he reached for the shifter.
I have no idea what the button is, but he came off and the car moved....instantly
Anyone see the same thing?

I think Drooze let the cat out of the bag with that last post..I believe where there is a will there is a way and yes you can do a wire with a delay in signal. Don't take my word for it, ask a pro sportsman racer...not saying they are but I do believe even from the foot pedal it has been done. NHRA may never have the patience to check this out..Lots of man hours that takes away from there executives pay...lol

It looks like Chrysler is testing new DP "Launch Control" transmission in Jeg's car.
