    Question for Guys running Sticks in NHRA

    Do any of you guys with manual trannys use a rev limiter to get your RPMs consistent when launching in NHRA drag racing? Is it legal to use a rev limiter in say, Sportsman or Pro classes? How do you activate it? Manually with a button or a switch on the clutch? Other? Thanks for the input!
