Let me clarify my statement. I don't have a problem with a manually triggered trans brake. What I have a problem with is delay boxes, and all those other "crazy" things, like leaving hard, then throttling back then going full throttle again (by computer). If the driver has full manual control, Hey that's being pretty skillful. There are probably many devices I am not even aware of.
do you understand that is class racing? super comp, super gas, and super street. it takes a boatload of skill to compete in those classes. you have to run the number (8.90, 9.90, and 10.90) and the field is extremely tight.
i've been involved with a super comp dragster for 3 years and it some of the most intense racing i have ever seen. those that know, know.
