I know of 2 guys caught, one with a delay box in NHRA Stock, and another was caught at Cordova with some kind of delay device in a IHRA Comp style car.

The guy in Stock was caught because someone saw his shoulder move on the starting line and protested.

The other guy got caught by the tower crew watching with binoculars.

Soooo, in the last 10 years and countless thousands of runs, that's 2 that I can prove.

I know there are others that I have not heard of, but when you count the number of guys caught against the number of racers, the percentage is pretty small.

If you think guys can't be that good without a box, browse through the run sheets from the World Footbrake Challenge. Michael Beard (pretty damn good Mopar racer himself) posted on the S/SS Board that he went .009 in the first round and was late!
