Ummmm,
General Regulations; 9:2 Data Recorders
Sentence #1; Data recorders may be used to record functions of a vehicle
so long as they do not activate any function on the vehicle.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but aren't spark timing and timing retard "functions of the vehicle?

Sentence #4; Fifth-wheel sensing devices prohibited on all vehicles.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a driveshaft sensor be considered a "fifth-wheel sensing device"? And even if it's not, when did they become legal?

I think that the Tech Dept. should re-read General Regulations section 9:1 and 9:2 before it makes any determinations regarding what it allows some of it's sponsors to sell to the Racers!

Billy I have a grid and the data logger does not control any of the functions. You have to program the functions into the grid. Not because I use one but that is how would interpret it. BP
