Bill asked how a line-loc could be used to effect a delay box for a starting-line advantage.

Danny Ashley replied:
"Bill,
Using a delay box on a footbrake car just requires installing a second line-loc into the rear brakes and a two-step. I put on on my Stocker about mid-year in 1988 when they were legal but had some inconsistency issues. Replacing the solid-core plug wires with carbon type and killing the field on the altenator solved the problem. Unfortunately I didn't get it sorted out until after the Keystone Nationals and delay boxes were outlawed in 1989. Mr. Muncy was caught because motion was detected in his arm and shoulder but I believe it can be successfully operated undetected with the left foot. I'm sure people smarter than me has already figured this out. Danny"

Thanks for that very educational explanation, Danny! I understand all of it except, I am at a loss to understand the relationship between a line-loc and solid-core sparkplug wires and an alternator's output.

Can you give me the reasons for those relationships, please? Is it some sort of "R-F" interference generated by the magnetic fields, and if it is, by what method do they interfere with, or affect, a purely electrical solenoid like is in a line-loc???? Or, was it the two-step that was affected? I have taken videos of cars that had two--steps that played havoc with my video-recorder while the two-step was in operation.

I am baffled by this one!

Thanks for any info,

Bill
