Yeah with the trans brake buttons now it wouldnt be worth getting caught with a box.. I've had tech go all over my car at some no box races.. they knew that I normally run in box but I could pull my box and plug in a jumper and I was ready for no box

Here's how we do it, we just ask the driver to power up the car (no engine running) and push the TB button and listen for the Click after release...no delay means no delay. Usally we do this in the pits but when in doubt it has been done in the stageing lanes. We also stand at the starters box and watch when it is suspected. After reading this post we will be checking Randys car twice  dont forget the Meeting 3/29 @ 1pm

Your funny Bill, I will bring more money to the meeting, you take cash, right?....But to my point, creativity is the mother of all inventions, and the people that do use them know a lot more about them than the average tech guy...Now with that said, I don't even use the trans brake except to back the car up...
You might want to read the article I posted though...You won't see any difference in the "click" by releasing the TB.....

thats all opinion and speculation. the technology has been there for many years. I am sure there are a few low lifes that would still cheat to win. and there are rules preventing it in bracket racing just not policed.

Joliet used to have a program that varied the timing of the amber lights. If you were using a box on the top bulb you would go red. You could see the second amber hang on just a little extra.

Not Cross talk. cross talk is on the top bulb. Both top bulbs come on when cross talk is on.
Correct... both top bulbs come on together then the
lane waiting it turns on the second bulb later

Yes, in any class using Cross Talk a box would be legal anyway.
