We went to a $20,000 footbrake race in NC a couple of weeks ago and a couple of people questioned my oviously unplugged 2-step button on my brake pedal. A two-step with a delay box would be like having a knife in a gun fight against the tree-reader boys.
I just wish tech control would get into the 21st century.

Bill as a racer that understands electronics and what they do and now as a track operator I came to you and said someone questioned the button on the brake pedal. Actually I went to Grace.and simply said pull the low side chip out as it wasnt clearly unhooked then if someone does protest myself as a racer and a tech guy understands what I'm talking about and probably know more about it than most racers. I ran a delay box in 1989 when they first came out and hid it so noone would see it and also released it in very different ways other than a button. Even ran one with a lenco in 1989.
Lee we at Piedmont are going to run a no RT race this year...actually about 3 of them.....we are calling it the OLD SCHOOL NATIONALS. Free entry 1000 to win with nothing but 1/8 mile Et and MPH....no 60 footers, or 330. No offense but at 8 cars Ill bet I can tell you it will be the same ppl that are always at 8 cars....
