Ways to check on the use of illegal devices

Ok, point taken but can an "NHRA accepted aftermarket ECU" without a "grid" make elapsed-time altering decisions on it's own?

P.S., this is why Doug won't let me have my laptop!

The Grid system is only capable of making "on the fly" changes if it is equipped with an accessory that is explicitly illegal. As a bonus, that accessory will leave a "breadcrumb" in the system to let an inspector know that it has been used somewhat recently.

There are many standalone products that will do traction control that are more easily hidden and do not communicate their presence.

just to add to your comments about the grid, they may not apply to all grids as it has been rumored for years, the existence of a "texas" grid which allows you to ride the dots and leaves no breadcrumbs.
