LOL! Really? There are TONS of Footbrake and No-Box big money races, all over the place, so electronics is no excuse. They just don't *want* to, that's all. Shoot, it's tough to get many S/SS racers to even run S/SS races if they're not an NHRA Nat'l or Div'l event.

Every once in a while, I'll Footbrake in the Box class, too, and in my experience, none of the electronics makes them much tougher (if at all). The thing that makes the Box class tough is the speed, consistency, and quality of the cars in competition.
