New Transbrake button rule is up!

[Robert Pare Racing]

That's the way I read it Angelo..for 4.5 inches, to 3.

[Michael Beard]

How can we complicate a maximum of 3" of travel?

Mike there is no "WE" u are not involved in this. Last time I checked those were Ihra #'s. Unless u can't spell, see or comprehend Ihra is not spelt nhra. Please stay out of our rules!!!! People see your opinions and run with u not knowing what race your in!!!!!!!!!!

I sure don't have a vote then, Keith.

I wouldn't want to impact the transbrake deal on your stocker Lighten up man, this isn't congress it's a racer's forum and it is going to be a really long winter. Beard could be building a SSer right? Or driving one for someone? It isn't like he is one of the dirty dozen? Oh yeah, they can race NHRA anyway....

Besides, you got Christmas early. Didn't Witherspoon get some HP? You should be ready for the showdown with him next year! BTW, I think it is cool that you are ready to go get him with the 305 and I also think it is cool that Bruce is going to be ready! Makes for a good race!

Thats what I thought Robert..... I don't think I've seen anyone using the entire 4-1/2 inches..... with a little experimentation I think the 3 inches should work. At least you don't have to throw the thing away and start all over w/ a new button.

And Michael.... the rule gives a length dimension "base of (button) switch to top of plunger" it does not specifically state a length of travel. There is a difference.... for example.. the Harrington button has a pretty long (at least an inch or inch and a half) threaded portion for mounting. The plunger does not go past this portion of the button........ yet according to the current rule as written..... that threaded portion "might" be considered part of the length dimension from the "base of the (button) switch to the top of the plunger". Like a lot of rules.... it might require some clarifiction.... that is all I was referring to.
