I'm going to go ahead and say it's called Footbrake class for a reason

I'm assuming that you mean running a transbrake equipped car in a foot-brake only class, but not using the transbrake. It depends on the track. Some don't give a **** as long as you don't use it. Others won't let you run at all, even if you cut the wires to the solenoid, remove the button, etc. No clear answer. Best to call your local track or ask the tech inspectors/track official.

We let people run, but if we hear it come up on the 2 step, it's an auto DQ

There are tricks for cheating, there are tricks for catching cheaters.
As mentioned, ask the track. Some require the button being removed.

What if the two-step is lowered a little so you can footbrake it and still get on the two-step?

Like Dragster said, there will always be ways to cheat. We all know each others cars up here pretty well, so if someone was to use the brake it would be evident.

Sorry for the confusion, when I bought the car the transbrake was installed but not operational. I was wondering if track officials would not allow a transbrake on the car in footbrake class even if it was not operational.

Thanks,

Crawling under there & looking for solenoid is very rare. There are other things, that racers & track people look for.
I will not mention them, but buttons & wiring hanging out in the open will get you booted,
no matter how much you claim it's not operational. Winning with a bunch of .510 lights every round
might draw some attention also. I would suggest you seal up the wires with a nut & some heat shrink,
just in case someone does turn you in. Good luck.

As mentioned, some tracks are different than others. Some require no buttons on steering wheel for footbrake, some require unplugging wires from solenoid, some will watch you at the line and if you do grab the button you're DQ'd.

I have one in my car but I leave with both hands on the wheel (TB button is on the shifter cover) to eliminate any problems.

And, if the 2 step is on the line lock, or the brake lite circuit, you???

Our only footbrake class is in a once a year "street car" charity race. Only about 10 cars enter the heads up class, and we're a pretty tight group. Anchorage is a pretty small town, to be labeled a cheater wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.
