Exclamation **Final decision on two-step usage**

Posted Today on NHRA.com




10/19/2007

After reviewing nearly 500 responses from Stock-category racers regarding the usage of two-steps in Stock Eliminator, the NHRA Technical Department has rendered a final decision.

The voting results were nearly divided down the middle with 49 percent of the racers voting for two-steps to be removed from Stock eliminator while 51 percent voted for the continued use of two-steps.

Of the 51percent voting in favor of the continued use of two-steps, 61 percent voted for the application to be pedal-activated only.

?Along with their votes, most racers also included some very good opinions and suggestions,?, said Len Imbrogno, NHRA Director of Sportsman Racing and Member Tracks. "The added racer input was very beneficial to the tech department in making a decision, considering the voting was practically split down the middle."

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.

I heard the E-shift will stay too and all cars will be able to use them in 2008.

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.
