This is actually a fairly ridiculous topic all the way around...

Heck... why don't we use a spec air pressure in the tires? This can be used as a reaction time tuning device.

While we are at it... why don't they use a spec launch rpm depending on the combination you run... lord knows I've used this method to move my reaction time around.

Bias tires vs. radial tires... adjustments here can be made in a bracket race due to the variance in air pressures and sidewall flex.

Transmissons/transbrakes... I've got two transmissions set up two hundredths apart.

Sunglasses/no sunglasses/blue blockers/wiley x.... hell mandate what we can wear on our eyes too! These do make a difference...

Bumping in... let's outlaw that too! I'm sure none of us have ever bumped in a bit to get that little extra we needed on the tree.

And more...


The fact of the matter is the bad drivers on the tree... well, they will still be bad. The good drivers on the tree will find a way to still be good no matter what devices, buttons or circumstances are mandated or outlawed. I would imagine that most, or all, of your perennial top 10 guys are utilizing some sort of adjustable button. If you think for a minute that a change in the rules will slow them down, that's probably a poor way of thinking, especially over the long haul. As history typically shows... the cream always rises to the top.

As far as a delay box taking an .040 and making it an .010... I guess it would depend on where the delay was set on the .040. Take some of the delay out of it if it's there. With rollout differences in tracks, I'm sure this adjustment needs to happen quite often. But as Mr. Mason said... it still requires you to have a good, consistant signal to leave on. The driver that is all over the map on the tree would still be lost.

My vote... do nothing! If guys are cheating now, they will find ways to cheat with the new rules. Believe me, the technology is there. Although, I do belive the faster cars will have some issues staying green without the button delays, the good drivers will make the adjustments necessary. Get it close and you can still use any of the things above to fine tune your tree. Let it rest...
