Effective for the 2008 season, two-steps will continue to be allowed in Stock eliminator but must be either clutch- or break pedal-mounted and/or -activated. No remote button locations will be allowed.
Should make it interesting hearing them go on the chip at 1300 feet......
That's legal, right?

I'd say adjustable pressure switches on the rear brake line will become popular, search your NAPA buyer's guide or Grainger's catalog........

There should be a pressure setting that will allow the switch to activate on the starting line, yet not activate with a light pedal pressure to drag a few hundredths off down at the big end.


Pass the popcorn, this is gonna get good........

If the majority voted this way then that is the way it will be. Have a great weekend to all in Silver Dollar and Rockingham! I need to find two tenths.

well,,its a start in the rite direction,,,,,,here is my preditiction for 2008,,,,,you will still see the same winners but the packages wont look like something in super comp or super gas,,,,,Ive examined the results and the RTs in some cases were as good as racers using delays and transbrakes........this means that slower indexed cars may not have to be driven by gods to go rounds anymore and whether most on this board know it or not,,,,it is very important to preserve the ability of slow cars to win. Next year will be a "tell tale" into the future if only a certain class of cars is all that is competitive in stock,,,,,,,with all the EFi and carb cars combined,,,,there are going to be alot of heads up runs.......my point is,,,since I dont have a large knowledge of "go fast" and NOT going to spend 60k in a competitive A ,B or C car, tha someone built,,,I can race something with a slower index and have a better shot of going rounds and not spending a life savings to do so

Tim, I've noticed a few posts about this topic, about how slow cars are uncompetitive. I'm just curious how you arrived at this opinion. There have been several "slow" Stock racers that have proved to be very competitive. Didn't you nearly win a world championship in a slow car? Myself, Ed Fernandez, Michael Beard (before LED's, no less) and several others have done very well, in slow, pure-footbrake Stockers in the recent past. I did very well in a seventeen second HF/SA, with both LED and regular bulbs. Ed F has back to back Top 10 Div finishes, in two seperate sanctioning bodies. Steve Pohill has driven his stick Escort (that didn't sound good) to two finals the past several seasons. I really don't think we're quite dead yet :~)

B.D.

Mike,,,slow cars are at a very big disadvantage to start with,,,you race one,,,you understand that there are big obsticles to overcome,,,,not that it cant be done, but doing it is tough.........when you consider all it takes to go rounds in a slow car,,,,,and top it off with a guy in the other lane sitting on a .010 lite nearly every round because of the style of racing the buttons and 2 steps have evolved most racers into,,,,makes for a grimm outlook for winning.....like I said,,,not that it cant be done,,,,,yes,,I got close,,,and if it wasnt for about 4 or 5 crybabys in Div 9,,,would have won it (another story),,,but alot of if was sheer luck,,,and didnt go hardly any rounds in the 1/4 mile,,,,,The run packages it took in 2002 wasnt nearly what it takes now....I was winning races with no better than .04 total package runs,,,,now??? I dont believe a .04 total run packge would get you past a couple of rounds,,,,,if any at all........time will tell I guess

If we cant allow any electronics then the 67-69 Camaro never came with electronic ignition. Oh well that has nothing to do with a 2 step or does it. I can only race a handful of races each year anyway but I agree with the earlier post the same winners will be winning.

Question Re: **Final decision on two-step usage**

so clutch cars leave off the clutch with a 2 step, auto's leave off the button for years, now the autos have to change and the sticks stay the same, who benefits????
