Does top fuel or funnycar run a traction control

It's not legal, but you know how that goes.....

and that's a good point......Keeping it out IMHO keeps it interesting and seperates the Men from the Boys....... BUT, it's getting harder and harder to police.......

Anything thats helps provide safety is a plus
Losing traction in a fast car once ur going, can make
you soil ur pants, even worst, put it into the wall

Look at the results from most any ADRL race whereever they are and you'll see at least one bad crash.

I would say, pick up your right foot. If you need a device to tell you, you are in trouble, let someone else drive.

Anyone who thinks that traction control on fast cars should be illegal is a ill informed

You guys do realize that the fastest runs will be made NOT hitting the traction limiter ????????

TC is just as safety net for cars that can overpower the track .

If I break traction at the 330' and crash my car then $650 sounds pretty cheap .

If you are interested in a traction control buy the davis box. it uses timing retard and amounts to control the power. The msd dots use rpm limits and those dots wreak havok on head gaskets (hopefully they don't disapper like they used to in the old box either). The down side is the davis box that really works well is $2500.

I think the box I was looking at was tipping the scales at around $4000.00

I had the Davis system on my Road Runner for 3 years, loved it so much I never even made a pass without it. The first time I did make a pass without it I broke the FAST record which was in place for several years. (10.53 at the time) After that I ran into a few guy's who experienced the same thing, I pulled the davis from my car and never looked back. There has been a guy or two on this site who didn't take my advice via PM, by the end of the season they both PM'ed me and said they wasted a whole season and should have taken my advice. Hope this helps..

The DOTS is just a rev limit you plot out on a graph. Pretty simple, the 7531 for example, you make a run on a good track with no issues. You copy that run and put the trace on the rev limit graph. Then you place dots where you want the RPM to be limited. The program makes a line that follows these dots. You can make the hole entire run on the DOTS if you want. But, when you hit the DOTS the engine falls down and has to come back to life. It worked great for me on nitrous but sometimes really gets me in trouble with the high stall and hard to control wheels speed my car now requires. There is a sample of this on MSD's website.
