Trans brake wiring and placement
I used the button on the top of the hurst quaterstick for the transbrake.
I have heard that your reaction time will be faster if you use your finger instead of your thumb, I haven't tested that theory yet though.

I am using a cheap Drop stick off e-bay. The original like "Pain" used is almost $200
HERE is the one I have.
I stage and when the light goes down I just drop or toss it and grab the steering wheel and then go to shifter and get ready for second

only bad thing about the button on the shifter is if you are holding the shifter with your thumb on the button, there is a good chance if the car leaves hard that you will pull it into 2nd gear. that is of course if you have a reverse shift pattern. so there is another good reason to use your finger instead of thumb.

What are the chances of dropping it and hitting the button again, wouldn't that relock the trans?

I did pull 2nd the first couple runs I made when the car first went together, but since the racing seats went in that are solid mounted to the cage and the floor I haven't done it, I think some of it was me being pushed into the seat at launch which is why I pulled the shifter.
we've since mounted it on the side of a t-hande shifter. the button is on the "b" side of this handle...
