Going to be making some changes to the truck this year. As most of you know I am a paraplegic so I operate my pulling truck exclusively through the use of my hands. As you can imagine it can get a little hairy during the pull having to worry about holding the brake to build boost, converter lockup, throttle, steering, and upshifting. I'm planning on trying to make a few changes in attempt to streamline my driving some. In the past I've used a "hand throttle" but its been basically nothing more than a glorified stick thats attached to the accelerator. This year I'm wanting to go with something similar to what you would see in a 3.0 or mod truck. Just wanted to make sure that no one is gonna give me any flack for using a hand throttle in the 2.6 class since I know most rules state that they are not allowed. Last thing I wanna do is spend a bunch of time fabbing up something only to have someone throw a fit and protest or something.
