Just got my new tranny and vertor installed and will install 2step this weekend. Its a CRT trans with a tbrake. I have been a footbraker forever and never drove a car with a tbrake. I could use some schooling on it proper use at the track. I have a good idea on what to do but the input I get here might help my learning curve.

Pretty simple... as soon as you final stage you hit
the button... then it depends on which you do... box
racing or bottom bulb... for box you let go of the
button as soon as you see the first light coming down
then go to the floor with the gas... it'll hit your
2 step rev limiter then it will launch at the right
time if the box(delay) is set right.... if you bottom
bulb you go to the floor when the light comes down
and let go at the last yellow... you may need to
change your set up on the car for bottom bulb as
it might launch too quick... need to check that

All my loving friends pitched in and bought me a "pit helmet" to wear when ride on a golf cart in the pits. I think some of my brains are still on that asphalt up their somewhere. I will come up to race soon and you tell me all about it, because I still dont remember much of that night or the next day. I did race that day didnt I?
