I got the best method for any of you. I am going to take an optical sensor and point it at the third amber. The optical sensor will activate an electric shock device that will be mounted in my button. I will not look at the tree as to not influence my reaction. When the optic sensor sees the bulb I get a shock and let go of the button (real reaction, no anticipation) I will then fine tune the car for my lights. Optical sensor will be legal bc it will be controlling no functions of the car. Only problem will be if shock is too much I will get scared and let go of button before I get shocked. This will also work in sp if I point it at the top or for that matter it will be so deadly I'll go off the bottom. You need some sort of "flinch protection" for the scared part of it. Scott Plus will have to adjust the timing of it once the blisters start to form.

Close your eyes for the flinch protection that way no chance of having any idea when the shock is coming so no flinch.
I got a better idea... Hook one of the "Tens" muscle stimulation machines up to your trigger finger. When the optical sensor activates it then It will electrically stimulate the finger muscle to release the button. But no electrical shock burns to worry about.

use the optical sensor to open a set of contacts with transbrake connected. Optical sensor senses third yellow, open contacts, transbrake unlocks car leaves... don't like all the shocks, being an electrician and all....besides on a hot day, all sweaty, sitting in a grounded car, don't want electrocuted.... This cracks me up.... been reading everyday, just to see what will be said next.......

No pain no gain.

Rule book doesn't allow them im a no delay class They have just been not enforced Dennis, For the millionth time please explain to me if they are not allowed in non delay classes, then why does NHRA have a complete list of buttons (adjustable and non adjustable both) that are approved in NHRA NON DELAY CLASSES! [/quote NHRA : definition Delay box / delay device Any electrical , pneumatic , electronic, hydryolic , mechanical, etc , built for the espress purpose of creating a delay between the release of the trans break or line lock or release of clutch pedal /lever, and the resultant action of the vehicule .

Got a handful of guys in this class who don't need anything but their eye and foot....

What's silly about this is I struggled with this button last year. Think I may have it figured out but still kicking around the idea of switching it up for this year

Don't have a horse in this race, but all joking aside, I have read all these post and see both sides...Before coming back to drag racing I spent almost twenty years in truck and tractor pulling. If you don't push the limits of the rules you are getting beat. I am not saying cheating, I am saying pushing the interpretation of the rules to the edge where you don't get in trouble. With that said, because everyone was doing the same the rules seemed to get looser and looser and more was "allowed". The main reason I got out of, got too expensive to be competitive. I think this is very similar,rules say the switches in question are legal, guys use them to gain an edge, pretty cut and dry.. my 2 cents.. Jeremy
