But some of the truth is the Matty box, was legal for a LONG time, before it was discovered.
It was, and Richie Matty won an IHRA bracket championship and many other races with his father's device. It was, however, illegal when the dozen were banned. I was announcing at Norwalk the year it happened.Not to get all political, but I would say, as someone who was around a lot of those guys every week, that I believe at least some of them were cheating. There was some big money out there to be won back then.
Yes thats the way I understand it as well. But were ANY of the dirty dozen ever found to have the device in their cars running after it was banned? I know some questionable wires were found, but nothing hooked to them.
My understanding they were banned on hearsay alone.
