Footbrake racing

Unfortunately I started this thread. I didn't mean to start this debate. I don't Footbrake the AMX because it's so cramped.
Lots of big dollar Footbrake racing here in the southeast. I mean real Footbrake racing. Footbrake racing down here is with no transbrake's and no staging or starting line in hancer's.
The main reason I race what we call super pro , that it pays more.
At our local tracks on a weekly basis super pro will have 60 to 75 cars and it pays $2000. Pro " Footbrake " will have 40 to 50 cars and pays $1000.
I have lots of friends that only run Footbrake and their cars run mid 5's in the 8th.
I will probably Footbrake and Box race my Dakota when it's finished. But people should run whichever they prefer. But don't knock the other class.

Here’s a great “no box” race going on this weekend at Norwalk. I entered this several years ago and ended up getting my money back when they couldn’t sell enough entries. I put the pictured transbrake button in my car and never hooked it up after the race was canceled. Very few foot brake only big money races left in this area. I think maple grove has one. Some races will separate the foot breakers from the trans brake guys as long as they can then they are joined together. Only 300.00 to enter this three day race for a very nice payout. My son and a lot of my friends will be there. With my strut frontend and string 60 foot times if I leave on the third yellow I’m red. That’s why I bought this button so I could put a little delay in it. I’m not changing my suspension for something I rarely do.
