Tuning ET with msd grid

I would ask NHRA, if it is a all electronics class, and allow timers, and throttle controls, and your going to ban me for having a idiot lite come on. I am getting old, so if I am banned for having a lite come on, then so be it. The racers are tough, and if you think I am going to look at the light going 140, when the other guys is going 170, you have no idea.

Ok so having an indicator of time from launch is ok and not against nhra rules? I have to take your word for it. It seems like a grey area.

I have seen guys run the same dial for 3 days in a row, they must have something going on.

Easy there Maverick, i was talking about blatant cheating, ie: using matty box, arc control, or having a delay box hidden in a class that does not allow it. now if the light coming on to give you track position to et. then it is a form of cheating and that should get a warning then if found again yes, banned. The light coming on would be a tough one to police as i had a shift light that would come on around the mph cone. i was asked about that, at the time is was just that a shift light. it came on at 6500 rpm no matter where i was at on the track.... lol

I have been wondering, What was your true intent when you decided to make a timer turn on a light at the 1000' ??????

What is the light used for?
Does it trigger anything else?
