So all this talk about tree readers, down track position indicators, matty box, etc. is nothing but internet forum noise largely posted by racers like yourself that don't compete at these races. That said, running dead on, cutting .00x lights and taking a few thousands stripe is commonplace and no big deal in the year 2024.
That said, I do believe that ARC modules are being used by some with the Grid.

Having been to a Fling, those events are on another level.......and sell out because they are BEYOND well run......It ranks in my top ten for full event experiences......Along with Ken's classracer nationals, Tyler and Brians Class Racer Revival, many National Opens in canada, did one bracket race last year at Epping, wasn't concerned at all about illegal stuff, a lot of that stuff is a crutch at best at least in 1/8 mile.
For class racing 1/4 mile I would have an issue with spotters at top end.....The grid with ARC clearly is a no/no for actual class racing,
For non class racing and testing: I can see where it could add a function of safety and be a useful training, and testing tool, and would help keep someone from crashing, which is always bueno.
My guess is that 99% of any illegal activity in stock and superstock is under the hood and not to be found further down car........
