But expecting a tech person to determine if that line is then being used to control the ignition, is a complex wiring issue. It's probably best if they do what they do for many other rules: respond to complaints from competitors, and examine cars that appear to be violating the rule.
But would they know how to find anything?It would amaze the CIA and the old KGB how far some drag racers would go to win races.Matty boxes,AM/FM delay boxes etc.James Bond would be proud.
