hi sgbarracuda if you watch the nationals that was just aired from Georga they showed a pro st with camera on board and you could see the shifter levers moving through the gears with no hands on it, so there must be a loop hole in rules that go back to the 2002 change. unless I wasn't watching close enough. it wouldn't the first time . leave a message next time your going to lakeland I'll tri to be there. we'll exchange old war stories Thanks Gary
