I have no fear of the guys with the boxes. I took a win home one night in a box class and for the final, the guy put my dial in, in his cross over, mine being the slower car with a 340 Cuda vs. a 468 powered Chevette...I tree'd him for the class win that night. They ran box and no box togather for whatever reason, and I weeded thru the whole class for the win.

In a quick 16 or quick 32, those guys use it for traction control off the launch a lot so they can have the throttle come in as the track will hold, so I am not so sure my opinion counts for weekly brackets...

If your on, your on, box or no box. Maybe the box is more consistant, but seat time will gain you that. You have to tweek some mechanical stuff, but I don't see a huge advantage to it if you know your car and where you react.
