Most have no idea how reliable points can be, even at high rpm's with high horsepower motors. Even the top classes ran points when electronic ignition was on every production car for 25 years....
That's because they've been brainwashed by forums and magazines that Electronic is the only way to go......to keep all the sponsors happy. Seriously, you'd think drag racing never existed until the advent of some of this "new modern" stuff. Top fuelers ran points in magnetos for years and they worked just fine.
