My sons 10.50 small-block Duster is non-electronics except for his air shifter. He is a better foot braker than he is if he uses his trans-brake.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I have a transbrake/2 step and rarely ever use it. Usually footbrake with no 2 step.

Doc, you mean there is some other kind of racing?

Footbrake only here. Jim

My version of a two step is one foot on the gas as I lift the other foot off the brake. My starting line controller is my right foot.

Maybe that was why my car was so slow.

I had all the electronics in my car for a long time,(and won races with them) but took them out in the middle of the season 2009. I also swap feet now, no trans brake, no two step, no air shifter, no nothing. Best move I ever made. And the closest thing to a dragster in my class is a Mopar powered roadster.

I have no problem running against the E guys. I foot brake, no 2 step, shift with a push button,10.5 tires at 9.30@147. Best bracket car I've ever had.

Always footbraked and always will. Many Stockers use a 2-step (no brake) but I have no interest to do so.

you don't like them don't race in that class, I think i'll die of old age before I see you racing why would you even worry about them? if your good enough it shouldn't be an issue.

A portable EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) device would do the trick. But...doing a google search on it may get you on the terrorism watch list.

I was thinking the same thing...


No E for me. Had 2 step, delay box and trans brake in my last car. Too many variables.
Now nothing but a throttle and brake pedal. More fun!
