However, the Personal Computer (PC) in the trailer will have the illegal software installed on it. The new language makes it clear Tech officials can demand access to the PC. NHRA should be applauded for their efforts to protect the integrity of our sport and attempts to maintain a level playing field for the vast majority or racers that don't use such devices.

Very good description of what is going on in the sportsman classes.
I am not saying everyone is using the grid system in this manner however, it is and has been happening.
One more item I believe should be outlawed is any counter, drive shaft, wheel or any other type of counter.
The tech department is just now starting to catch up with the technology that is available.
Just My Take
