I guess in theory it could reduce fuel consumption in its ability to completely turn off fuel flow under deceleration.. However I would think that would work under sudden and complete throttle release when carbs go rich...however again... I don't see much sudden throttle release on the telemetry... more of a easing off the throttle. Shutting off fuel flow abruptly under those conditions would surely upset the chassis. Spoken by myself... a true NASCAR legend.....NOT!! (yeah sometimes I crack myself up) Curt
Oh wait a minute, this is about the fine, not the technology...Sorry As far as the fine goes...yeah that's retarded...

Carbs are dirt cheap, and work well. No big secret. About the only way to police EFI would be a sealed unit the sanctioning body would provide that you can then program to your car. Otherwise the EFI could conceivably be used for traction control and who knows what else. It definitely will not be cheaper than carbs, count on it. The biggest problem to me is the censorship. Just too much control.

Not only that, but you know the teams with lots of $$$ like Hendrick and Roush will have figured out ways to "massage" the system better than the teams with less monies. Look at how long Hendrick had a stranglehold after they adopted the COT until the other teams (finally) caught up.
Any major change means the teams with the most money will figure it out first and exploit it. It's the exact opposite of "cost savings to the competitors". The best R&D wins.

I feel the opposite, I wish NHRA would go to EFI for Pro Stock. Carbs are old tech, as is NASCAR itself. I'd love to have EFI on my car but I don't have the coin right now. Someday though it will.
My question would be, how would you police it? I am betting that is one of the key reasons nascar and prostock still use carbs. Its alot easier to police and tech a carb, then it would be a bunch of digital controllers.
You don't police it, just like NHRA does with EFI stockers. Let them do what ever they want.
You don't watch much NASCAR do you...
Truthfully no I don't. I can appreciate the effort they put into it but frankly I find it boring. I don't watch much NHRA on TV either. I'm a horrible spectator.
Same here. I just dont find it interesting enough to watch anymore.
