Now you have Top (box class)
and you have Modified with switches that act like boxes. The no box class is ruined.

I wish no box was footbrake only. But its not in this part of the country.

There are average, above average and below average drivers in all classes. $199.99 is absurd for that deal. No thanks.

In the end whether it be footfeeding, short button, long button or delay box the driver is still the root of the consistent release. If I have a long throw button, which I do in bobs 65 and I am inconsistent letting it go it will not make me better on tree.
My view of it has always been consistency and focus of the driver. I like the adjustable buttons because it saves me from climbing under the car and tightening or loosening shocks to better reaction time.
In the end there is always adjustment. Whether it be the car suspension, air pressure, twisting a button or punching numbers in a delay box.
If you as the driver not consistent none of the above adjustments will help.

I kinda get a kick out of it. They bad mouth electronics but the have trans brakes, delaying buttons, 2 steps, and any other gismo that comes by.

I use a version of that button in my Valiant. I needed to slow down my cars reaction because it goes red in my pro tree index races. I will also use it to help on a bracket tree if I'm chopping it down. Its legal and it helps so let's race.

I forgot, I do have a button. In fact a few of them. the throw is a little sloppy, doesn't seem to bother my consistency.

Hey fellas thanks for taking notice of our new button. We are very excited about the Just-N-Time Button. As some of you note it looks a lot like some of the buttons currently on the market, but is actually a "hybrid" of them. Google it Mike Rafferty.
The development of this button includes features and design available on each, but is now combined along with a few other optional adjustments. You also receive all possible combinations in one complete kit when you purchase our button as one member noted.
Thanks for the interest. Feel free to contact us on our website if you have any questions, and thanks to the customers who have purchased Collector Tethers already. If anything 2014 will certainly be safer on the starting line.
Mike Rafferty - You need a few manors and a little keyboard edacate when talking about "he" as that is a person as in "Me". When you say things like you do, people like me will point out you don't know what you are talking about. You statement below, is nothing but a guess trying to make others think you know something and makes me look bad, which I do not appreciate.
"He is just ripping off someone elses idea.. and is
most likely having it built in China and charging
a rip off price.... screw him and his header tethers also"
1 - The JNTButton combines 2 ideas into 1 to offer a new and improved product, in which my partner who won the NHRA US Nationals in Super Stock has been looking for.
2 - It is built in Tennessee, USA that is.
3 - It is the same price as all the others when you include the parts you have to buy to make up the same product.
4 - Screw me? Really? Weld your collectors on.

You guys should probably look into that button a little harder. The APEX is a clear copy of the Biondo Terminator button. The Just N Time button is the next generation of these buttons. It has alot more adjustability than either of the two aforementioned buttons with multiple springs and multiple mounting points for the springs.
NONE of these buttons have the ability to delay more than .1 The most I have ever seen, even with the 5.0 button that is illegal in Stock Super Stock and Comp in NHRA, is .08 Biondo attempted to create a button called the AXE that was capable of more than .1 and it never took off pretty much because NHRA changed the rules right after that.

I love Mr. P and all you guys on this site and am not taking sides. But I will say that the Collector Tether guys have a cheaper version of the tethers. Its not as nice as their higher priced product; but,it is legal.

I'm not real happy about the tether rule but it could actually save someone's life if one comes off. I couldnt get mine off if I tried; but, I'm sure people have them that probably slide off easily and could fall off if the bolts vibrate loose. Think the lite version of their tethers is under $100.

Agreed. Tech is non existent at most tracks.
