Sheesh, you guys and your shifters! LOL You know the powerglide only has one shift right? And you also know it started out as an AUTOMATIC transmission right? I had a freind make a comment to me a long time ago....he said we buy an automatic transmission, make it manual shift, then put a shiftnoid on it so it will be automatic shift again. hahaha. IM JUST GIVIN YOU GUYS A HARD TIME!

may get boring at times but in a fast car its alot safer especially the way that track can get at times with 2 hands on the wheel!!

I don't think 6.20's are too slow but I still find time to pull the shifter a couple of times without needing any depends...

At the risk of sounding like a dummy, why is it called No E if you can have an electronic shifter (or whatever it's called) Kind of confusing? Especially if it's legal at some tracks and not others? It seems if it were truly a safety issue it would be allowed at all tracks. Just wondering

Johny just so ya know i wasnt sayin anything about ur car being fast or slow mine runs high 590s to 610 depending on weather and track condition all i was trying to say is it is safer for the faster and even the slower cars and that is not the only reason that all the other tracks with the exception of centerville withn 500 miles of here have started allowing them in the NO-E class it is also because of the fast street cars that have started running our class that are COMPUTER operated and SHIFTED that way everyone in the class is on an equal playing field so that there is no griping i just dont like the idea at running at one track one way in the same class then having to change my car or run in the other class just to get to race at a different track when it has always been allowed there before not trying to start anything just trying to state my case and im sure that there are as many people for it as there is against it.. thanks for ur time..

Well u know me??? Always looking for the bright side, Jimmy At least If Sallisaw decides NO electric shift in No/E you won't have to do anything your car when you race at Centerville since they outlawed them. Just sayin since you mostly race there and Sallisaw, makes it easy! More time to focus on FUN and BEER! Lol

the only issue i see with whole thing is that the cars from other tracks, need to be checked just to make sure that if that is the rule No electric shifters then the other cars need to be looked through very carefully...because racers tend to hide those...just sayin.... if cars from other places come to race there and they have these shifters then they need to be made to take it out....*stepping off soap box*..lol.

Absolutely! Definitely need a tech to keep everyone on the up and up because there have been "issues and speculation" in the past. Lol. I hope with black and white rules, and NO shades of grey there will be no excuses NOW LETS RACE!

However if it doesn't make a difference how the car performs or give the driver an advantage it shouldn't matter I guess??? Right??? I don't know if they help or not? ? Hell I give up lol

Well, I agree with joe that majority rules. And if majority agrees electic shifters are NOT an performance issue, then people who like shifting or think its safe or level the playing field should be givin either options. More of my OPINION is if where tring to be as constant as possible in bracket racing and safer then why not.. Love that there is a bright light for the track and the Saillsaw race community....Thanks for the hard time JOE...LOL

well i agree with ya Jason and joe it should be majority rules and dont think it is a porformnce advantage as much as safety advantage i just wish that everybody that is either for or against this issue would comment on here that way we knew what the majority is and would like to be able know before the start of the season if possible what the decision is gonna be so that if any of us need to we can make the appropriate changes to make sure our cars are legal.thanks

Still have more than a month before racing begans and maybe by that time joe will have enough input to make the decision. I hope none drivers don't influance the decision. Maybe if theses people get into theses cars and go full throttal there input may change on this issue. I guess will see. Ready to race..

Why not just keep the electric shifter, add a box and race Super Pro....if they decide to not allow the electric shifter in the no electronics class? Then u can have it, no one is mad, your safe because u can keep both hands on the wheel and bada bing bada boom...problem solved lol Just messin with ya. Bahahahaha

This is Darryl. Don't have my own sign on so I'm just gonna use gingers.
I'm not tryin to be an ass but in my opinion no e means NO electronics and that includes shifters. my car has run 5.96 at 116 and I was shifting. I think electric shifters are an advantage because they are more consistent and the driver can focus on one thing, a good light, which wins races. As for OEM cars having them, I haven't seen that many racing.
If they are allowed I'm just gonna buy a box and go super pro. So my vote is NO electric shifters in NO/E.

i hear what ur sayin daryl but i have heard rumors of makin it a no box class as well and i dont like that idea either because that is definately a performance advantage i would be all for if they decided to make it a no box class say u can either foot brake and run aneletric shifter or u can use a tranny brake but i definately dont see the reasoning in the no box stuff if it is goin to be a true no electronics class thats what it needs to be no electric shift no tranny brake no air throttle nothing but a motor ,a brake pedal, and a gas pedal i just dont see how they will eliminate everyone from using one when its always been allowed at that track but if its a rule i WILL abide by it as i always have and always will and last year was he first year i had one the year i won track champioship i shifted my self so will just go back old school i guess or run super pro undicided so far.....

Post by gingerlynn on Feb 13, 2012 18:05:48 GMT -6
Haven't heard the no box rumor. All I've heard about is the shifting issue. I just don't see it a big safety issue. Darryl has always shifted. When I heard about cars running electric shifters my first thought was "why is it called the no electronics class?". Makes no sense to me.
Have I mentioned I'm so ready for some racing??? Lol

Let me ask this question just to see the thoughts. What if a new camaro with the zr1 package with its electric shift and its push button traction control and lets say its packing a supercharger and running a CONSISTANT 9.50 et. Is this a No-E car or is it a super car??? Just wondering. NOT to stir the pot in a bad way.....Love all the input...
