With the MSD Grid, you can also do it with a carbureted engine.
Kill the timing on launch and kick it during the run.

What I'd like to know is how many Racers are actually "spot-dropping" and how many are using their ignition box, grid and data logger to determine an exact time and distance on the track to "drop". Something that the system is perfectly capable of doing. Again, I'll say "It's the 21ST Century. I tend to doubt that many very successful Racers are picking a pole or flag to "drop" on.

We have learned how to get the car to repeat within a hundredth of the prediction by using a self adjusting ECU tune depending on DA .. you need to use modern technology.

Good chassis design is key to consistency.

Tuneup is way more reliable method than counting or dropping. It does not "stretch" the rules.

From what I heard thru the grapevine, ..easy enough to do . All starts with zero wheelspin..See my earlier post ;-)

You still have cut a light! But that’s a whole other story!

What is wrong with the blinders?

Because you can win with them and he can't. They could take it all away and still someone will look for an excuse as to why you win and they don't.

Kinda like deep staging, isn't it? ;-)

Nothing. Every car was equipped with them from the factory. If not there -you do it on your visor. Nothing illegal about them. Nothing in the rule book that says; you cannot have them or have to see every bulb. Same with brake switches.
