Throttle Limiters
What would happen if the NHRA policed all those restrictor plates, disconnected secondary mechanisms, and throttle travel restrictors, etc.?

Re: Throttle Limiters
Daren, you are not giving and considering the creativity of racers. Someone will eventually find the way to circumvent it. Besides, I don't believe NHRA has the manpower to inspect Stock and Super Stock class cars every run.

Re: Throttle Limiters
Not at all. I have been looking at how to get around this for about a week.....

Re: Throttle Limiters
Why wouldn't they just plug the desired ET into their Grid and/or data recorder?

Don't think for one minute that they can't!

Re: Throttle Limiters
Billy, You have been complaining about this for a long time. If you think it can be done show us how to do it. I really want to know how it’s being done! Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

Re: Throttle Limiters
They put that information right on the timeslip. You just need to make one baseline run to see what distance it says.

Re: Throttle Limiters
I use a grid, you can look at my data if you'd like at any time. But nowhere that I have seen can you plug an ET in anywhere. There's a G-Meter that works with a grid, or basically a driveshaft sensor, that you can run which I'm 100% against and should be illegal on every car in the staging lanes in Stock and Super Stock. Those can easily be policed in the lanes or at fuel check or any damn place.

The only device you can input the ET is a crossover box that works similar to a delay box. It allows you to react off your opponent's side of the tree only when you are the quicker car. You enter your dial in and the opponents dial in into the delay box and it automatically calculates the difference. |
