Not in a regular IHRA Division-2 bracket race. IHRA Division-2 doesn't recognize the true "No Box" designation. New for 2007 is the vehicle can have an electric shifter but still no trans-brake or 2-step.

Yeah, there has been some rumor of illegal T/B use in MOD.
I am not personally aware of anyone using a T/B in MOD @ Pageland.

There are a few that do have a trans-brake that Jeff and Tim inspect to ensure the wire(s) are disconnected. Seems like one guy did have a Pro Tree Brake and had his reverse switch located on the dash over toward the passenger side of the vehicle where he had to lean up and over to activate the switch. I always get grilled for saying this but this is one of my reasons for allowing trans-brakes and 2-step in "Mod". If we're going to have 5 second E.T. footbrake cars why not throw open the door. Then maybe we could have a true footbrake class that had a minimum E.T. and a few other limitations. It would appear footbrake has been a little soft on car counts at most tracks this season from what I've been told. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out over the next few years.

Yes, the bounty is still up for grabs on Lisa. She has an odd work schedule so I'm not sure if she'll be here tonight but if she is she's fair game.
