Was wondering if anyone one of you super fast guys are running a Davis Technologies Traction Control System Is anyone considering getting one of these awesome systems? I think its a great way to eliminate traction problems with these small tire cars. I'm getting ready to buy the expensive one. Any takers?

It does make it easier to get down bad tracks (or if you make a bad tune-up call) and with time and practice it will make a abort run a decent pass. I like to get my car down the track with the least amount of gizzmo's so I do not use one. Pretty soon we will be racing remote control cars if we keep letting all of the electronics in.

Is it legal
Even as a T/S and Box racer...I think traction control doesn't have a place in bracket racing...just my
I don't want to use it for BRACKET racing. Only for headsup racing.

I understand that...but there are guys using it in bracket racing....ILLEGALLY...
I think they and all the traction control devices should be ILLEGAL in any racing.... like someone said... lets race remote control cars.... if you make a bad call on the tune up... toooo bad

Unless you set it up to leave soft and act the same on every pass traction control is worthless for bracket racing because it does not repeat. If it reacts to wheel speed it will save a run, but won't be consistent. Setting a car up to leave soft is legal.

I would say, pick up your right foot. If you need a device to tell you, you are in trouble, let someone else drive.
Wrong answer, With these fast cars on small tires, usually when you feel tires letting loose, its usually it's too late. Traction control just pulls timing out when it senses driveshaft speed picking up and corrects it so accidents don't happen.
