Illegal ignition boxes at Atco

[Don Eckel 111]

They were checking ignition boxes at both NED and Atco. RC asked me to pull my cowl off at the end of a qualifying run to check. I run the 7530T or 75301(same as the 30T, but with data aquistion). I was told they found 5 with the illegal 7531 box at NED, and I know of at least 1 at Atco(I loaned him one of my spares so he could race). The 7531 has traction control capabilities and has been illegal for many years. It specifically states that number as being prohibited in the rule book. I believe the 7535 is legal, but it has boost retard controls and such, so isn't really practical to have for most people.

They checked last week in Seattle div 6 race too. They were specifically looking for them. Maybe cause we were from div 7? LOL!
