MSD 7751 - Legal?

[Jeff Lee]

This is a hand held two-step controller. I went to NHRA accepted and it's not shown as accepted or prohibited. I have a call placed with NHRA. Anybody know one way or the other?

If it is not on the list as "accepted" NHRA does not allow it to be used.....Until you hear from them I would contact MSD because they are the ones who have to submit the item for approval and you could find out if that has been done or not......

Peter, what do you think their reasoning is for that? Wouldn't want you to be able to make a last minute change in or after the water box if you see the starting line is bald.
I can't really see a reason for that one.

Ed, the rule has been out for a long time and being able to change the launch RPM would be great.

Ed, this quote goes back to my 2000 rule book and probably further.

I still can't figure out realistically why seat belts in like brand new out of the box condition are only allowed a two year lifespan.

Ours is apparently, not to wonder why, just to do or dq.

Those are the same dumb a**'s that asked me "what do you want me to do?" last week when I called to tell them my brand new MSD Grid was defective.
I did call MSD today about this item. Their response? Call your tech department.
