This could get real interesting real fast, unless you plan on getting rid of all the F.I. cars.

Billy, can you explain why you do not like data loggers? After a pass I like to be able to see what my oil pressure was in the lights, the convertor slippage, what the convertor flashed and a couple of other things. It doesn"t make me a better driver, but it might help make the engine last a little longer.

Funny thing, I used my data logger to prove I wasn't doing sneaky things at Indy.....

Ok, I'm quite sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not), but can a stand alone data logger in conjunction with a grid and a digital ignition box NOT be used as a down-track timer (the last I knew, not legal)? If it CAN, then it CAN be used to control timing and fuel (and in some cases throttle control) to give the Racer a desired elapsed time.

I know that this is a big concern for you. How prevalent do you really think it is?

Maybe random review of data by tech would help ease your mind?

I thought the thread was about roller rockers and sold lifters etc. But this is about out and out CHEATING.
You know what they say.... cheaters gonna cheat...so if you remove legal electronic boxes that can be modified to cheat.....then wouldn't the cheaters just use a smaller box well hidden?

Ya know, a long,long time ago, roll-out counters and delay boxes weren't "CHEATING". They were perfectly legal because NHRA didn't know what they were or that they even existed.
