I have the Lingenfelter 2 step. Honestly, haven't used it much b/c I've only been to the track twice since putting it in. Look a few posts down on the below:

Kazman is correct..I have never heard of a track that allows a two step in a footbrake competition...trans brakes are illegal as well...don't get me wrong, I wish I could use one but they are seriously forbidden in footbrake...

NHRA changed their "official" bracket program from footbrake to "no box" making trans brakes and two steps legal. If you go to the Division finals, or a Summit Series race thats what you will see. at least thats according to NHRA, I know alot of track kept it "footbrake" because thats what their racers wanted

Chad...what you say is sorta/kinda true...the NHRA Summit Series always had 3 classes...Super Pro (full electronics), Pro (no electronics) and Sportsman (no electronics)...the only difference between Pro and Sportsman was ET, Pro being faster...
This year Division 2 finally joined the rest of the country in allowing trans brakes, two or three steps and air/electric shifters in the Pro class..basically the Pro class now follows the "No Box" rules...
Sportsman is still footbrake, no electronics...the ET break is 8.24 in the 1/8 mile between Pro and Sportsman...
Now for my rant...lol...I don't mind that they made the change in Pro...I do mind that my track and a lot of others do not offer the Pro class during the all year long Summit Series...they make us run Sportsman all year and when we get to the Division finals we have to run folks who have been on the two step and brake all season...I would put a t-brake and two step in my car in a heartbeat but I cannot use it all year so why bother?...
OK...rant off and sorry for the hijack...

SUPER PRO (10.99-and-quicker)
PRO (11.00-11.99)
HEAVY (12.00-13.99)
STREET (14.00-and-slower)
By the time I started racing weekly (1990), they had combined the 2 quickest classes into SUPER PRO (11.99-and-quicker), and merged the other 2 classes into HEAVY (12.00-and-slower), so there was no E.T.-overlap at the Bracket Finals, although each track was permitted to run classes at their weekly Series as they deemed:
I believe D1 allowed delay-boxes in 1992-93

many experienced racers in Street also compete in Modified, and I competed in 130/150+ car fields at Pittsburgh in MOD
