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.
Either you didn't read the article, or nobody is using it then....
I read a guys opinion on what he thinks, nothing more

I would tend to agree. But, you can tell the electronics to start timing on the release of the footbrake. All you have to do is remove 12 volts from the input. Knows guy who did this for a local racer. I don't agree with cheating.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

NO BOX SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN A TRANSBRAKE PERIOD.....HAS RUINED THE CLASS 
Rickster
 At my closest track they run transbrakes and air/electric shifters in no box. Hardly any foot brake classes around here anymore.

That would still involve a T-Brake and I said NO T-Brakes.....kinda hard to hide a trans-brake

If people want to cheat they will. proven fact all you can do is look for little hints. I footbrake and I could careless if the guy next to me has a T-brake. I run Box class sometimes to footbraking.

This right here^^^^^^^^^ Run your own car, take care of your own business and stop worrying about what everybody else is doing and you will likely win more.

I agree, YOU control who wins the race in bracket racing! The person can only make it harder or easier for you to win, he has no control of what you do. Cut a perfect light and run the number,you win,period. Worrying what the other guy is doing looses more races because he gets in your head. What's in the other lane can be dogs,tigers, trees or houses, in fact nothing need be there since you are running on time only with your package. He can have all the tricks but they don't work unless YOU let them.

Your almost right... when my brother and I were racing
a guy(now a top fuel driver.. was a pro stock driver)
we had some very good packages but he always had a
better one... then we learned about a thing called
a Matty box... enough said

I was wondering how long it was going to take for the Dirty Dozen to come up. They did get banded from IHRA and Norwalk except for the divisional and national event. But they did not find what they really did.

No they did not find anything... they beat feet before
they could check them... we use to run Norwalk a lot
and did up to a couple of years ago when I really
backed off on racing... still love that track
