Put a switch on the clutch pedal. (like a brake switch setup)

wd45gto, I think I was wrong on the neutral switch.
With a stick I don't believe you need the switch.

Correct John; nothing in the NHRA manual says about having one with a stick and I’ve passed tech at Norwalk without one. It makes perfect sense to have one but not required.

Has things chanced at Norwalk for teching? I've been twice 2014 & 2016 only 1 of those times i was tech and the 1 time i was the guy just walked around the car and that was it. Does the tech guy still go through the pits teching or do they have a tech location now?

Yes tech was in the staging lanes on Thursday. He checked my belts, helmet, roll bar padding next to my head area, neutral switch, and shutoff switch.
NEVER looked under the hood. I know of one 9 sec. yellow car that made at least 2 time runs before being teched.

Dad talked about transferring, seems like Gary, Indiana was the probably target. He got a job a chemical plant though, and stayed here. Sorry for the thread hijack, I've just never come across anyone that actually retired from USX!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
