Around here the tracks are going to two classes, box and no box, same as Pro and Super Pro. There is one track that is still running a foot brake class, no air shifters, trans brakes or two steps. It's about an hour and half away from me and I'll make the drive before I run no box at the local track that's 20 minutes away.

When My local track opened a few years ago they ran box, no box and foot brake. On average they had 35-40 cars in foot brake and 8-10 in no box. So when they decided to combine fb and nb, instead of pi$$ing off 8-10 guys and making the class fb they pi$$ed off 35-40 guys and made the class nb. One of the guys that worked at the track kept telling me how a trans brake and air/electric shifter has no advantage over foot breakers who shift their own. After hearing him repeat the statement several times I told him he was either a liar or a dumb a$$ and walked off.
