Follow up EMAIL from Pat !!

Dan,

Unless you have documentation from Chevrolet stating it is a distributorless system it’s not; so a crank trigger would not be legal.

1. Distributor: a device in a gasoline engine for passing electric current to each spark plug in turn.
Pretty clear to me you don’t have a distributorless system.

========================
SO I am confused

Just sent Pat KRATLIF's response.
Pat's response is below.

Thanks for the heads up, we will have to look this weekend at Pomona.
As I mentioned previously, unless you have documentation from Chevrolet stating it is a distributorless system it is not.

You can believe who ever you want,
I’ve answered your question based on how NHRA officials interpret the rulebook.

Crank triggers are not a legal option for the Opti Spark.
