I’m not an engineering type at all so a couple of curiosity questions about pro stock type shifters. In watching the in car camera shots of Jeg’s car for example, the shift light comes on and it takes some time to actually initiate the shifter movement. Is there a lead time built into the light? If so, is it customized for each driver vs pretty standard?
Also, the throws look pretty long. Is that a physical limitation (or rules)? Why can’t you make a short throw shifter?
