Hey guys! Just picked up my brothers automatic EG and wanted to know if tracks allow hand controls? I think ive seen someone have them before but just wanted to make sure before we all go to the track...Thanks!!!

 

hand controls ??

 

maybe he means hand controls on the steering wheel for gas/brake?

 

Oh yeah sorry I forgot to add that...Yeah for the gas and brake, My brothers a paraplegic...due to a motorcycle accident 2 years ago.

 

I thought I read somewhere in the rules that they were not allowed. The best thing to do would be call and ask. I don't see a problem with them in bracket racing but I could be wrong.

 

Thanks Chad! I'll email them and find out for sure...Hows your car doing?? Do you still have that EK hatch with type R wheels?? I could have swarn I seen it sitting in allentown??

 

There was a disabled guy at my local track who always bracket raced with hand controls in a minivan. Real nice guy, really good on the tree too.

Yeah I have been painting over at my dads place all weekend that was my car.

This is all I could find. I thought last year there was a line in the SFWD rules that said you needed to use the pedals. Does this mean Jamie might be making some appearances this year?
