I now have the button mounted on a bracket about 2" off the floor, just ahead of the shifter and off to the side of it (towards the driver). I sit fairly low in the car, so it's not as akward as it may sound. With the button there, it makes my arm extended away from me, with a slight bend at the elbow. I ball up my fist, and use my thumb on the button, when I release the brake I move my entire lower arm. The year that I moved the switch in my other car, was the same year I won the championship. And I took the lead after I moved the button. (my lights were good, and they got alot more consistent)
Also, with my button there, my hand is still close to the shifter for that quick 1-2 pull.

I am going to have the launch limiter on my shifter, and I will have the line-lock and a 3rd burn-out limiter on a on/off toggle switch, probably on my steering wheel or column. Is your handle a T-handle, or the round kind? If it is the T-kind, I wouldn't be too worried.

As far as over-loading the switch with a T-brake & 2-step, if you can do it with a line lock, I don't see why you couldn't with a brake.

BTW it's a B&M T-handle on a pro-ratchet shifter. It's still gonna be driven on the street and since you have to engage the t-brake to shift to reverse the knob's button would be more convenient. Thanks again,

Got ya! Melissa is used to the button on the knob from her 2 step/line lock manual tranny stuff. But I understand what you're saying and she'll try both ways next season.

Alex, Thanks again!

Chips,

Everyone,

Another question for the DIV 7 racers,
Which classes allow the Trans brake? SPM but any others?
And which classes during S.P.O.R.T. Wednesday night races allow t-brakes?
Isn't there a 10.0-12.99 class that allows the "brake" but no t-stop or air shifter? I can't find my rule book. And, it's not on SearsPoint's website anymore.

I asked this question on "bracket talk's" site and started an arguement. I guess they are not allowed in street or HS but the last few winners on HS class in Div 7 ran t-brakes! Suprise suprise

Alex,
Would Sara Norsworthy's ride be T-brake equipped? You remember the Stock class Mopar truck?
BTW, I'm mounting the B&M cooler next to the radiator where the battery was and cut a hole in the (that peice of sheetmetal that the radiator attaches to) so it'll get air like the radiator does. Sound ok to you? Melissa says GN old man. (not really)

I was just kidding, you should seen Melissa grin when she read your post.

It looks like they are allowed in all ET classes in Div 7. They were not allowed in H.S. & Street for the National Finals though because they aren't allowed in other divisions. Thanks everyone!
