Consistent E.T's

I have an electric shifter set up in my dart. I shift my wagon and 67 belvedere myself.

Out of the 14 no box races that were ran at our local track last year, five drivers combined to win 12 of them.

I won 4, my racing partner won 2, and the three other guys had 2 wins each.
The one thing all 5 cars have in common is an electric or air operated shifter.

I can hit my shifts in my other cars most always and have very consistent ET's. However, myself and anyone else who shifts their own are going to have runs where we shift a bit late or out of sync from the round before.

Its just human nature and a fact that we can't be perfect.

I believe the cars with electric shifters are at an advantage because of that.

I believe stick cars are at an even bigger disadvantage, because it takes even more movement and timing to drive and shift them the same every time.

Its just my opinion, but at the tracks I race at, stick guys don't usually last very many rounds.
