Default Where do you mount your transbrake button?

Where do you put it? Shifter? Steering wheel? Handheld? Other? I'm most interested in the Big Dogs.. Low 10s and Lower. Trying to see where the optimal place would be..

Putting mine in the shifter. I got the Turbo Action cheeta shifter and its setup for it already.

And I plan to be in the low 10's witht the 76mm turbo, and then move my way into the 9's with the big turbo...

In my dragster we always mount it on the wheel, but i voted other becuase i would do it where it feels most comfortable. you can kinda practice a lil before you install and see where you like it. my friend works for frank hawley school and they actually put it by your shoulder.....why? because they always teach your index finger is faster no matter what than your thumb. (try it they are right)
