Oh, wait a minute, then they would have a harder time getting their "Buddy Deals" through. Better to just sneak them in.
Sorry to go off topic...but speaking of "buddy deals", what is the connection to CFR Performance, who happens to have an awful lot of NHRA-Approved oil pans?

In my faster Stockers...... I have a hard time shifting
the cars when they are way up it the Air.

This leads to me (literally) hitting the tree occasionally.

Of course.......I am pretty old!

We all know there are quite a number of early cars that
are willing to risk running E shift 1st to 2nd.

I am sure I would get caught the first race!

I still wish it was legal.... for everyone I race against
in other lanes well being.

I agree John. Actually now that I'm thinking back a few months....there is a good chance I would have run the tree over had I not had both hands on the steering wheel when I launched on a junk track and took an immediate right turn in the left lane.

If thats such a big problem, I guess all the higher class stickshift cars must need electric shifters too, right? For safety, of course!

I may be in the minority here, but anything that diminishes the input of the driver weakens the class. Drive the damn car!

Every enhancement in the last 30 years has been for safety, just about.
But guess what? They then go faster and need more "safety".

Does anyone still use the governor shift on 1-2. I know back in the day that was a good choice for the quick 1-2 shift.
I guess that would still pass tech.
