Has anyone seen the dedenbear stepper throttle stop at the track or knows if it works?

I think it's a wonderful idea in theory. But I have several concerns: 1) it relies on a great supply of clean electricity, something that is often in short supply in a race car, 2) it's a blade (as opposed to disc) stop, I thought the TS6 disc was supposed to be the best choice.

I'd also love to know if anyone has tried it and how it works.

Looks very interesting, I would be very curious to find out how it works from someone that has actually used it.

I also find this interesting. But I can't find anything on the internet about this other than someone noted on an old forum on nitromater.com that it was very accurate. Apparently has been around for a couple years. The guy said he read about it in Drag Racing Action magazine in the May issue of 2008.

I keep alot of those old magazines, so I'll look for it tonight and see if I can find anything on it.

I looked through my dad's old magazines and he doesn't have a copy of the May 2008 Drag Racing Action magazine.

I am interested in seeing this throttle stop work though.

My guess is that since this throttle stop has been around for 2 years and can't find anyone running it (or information on it) - that it must not work very good.

I don't think it even exists. There was an Autometer ad for it a couple of years ago in National Dragster right after Autometer bought out Dedenbear. I found it interesting that you could set the open and close rates through the box instead of adjusting an air needle. Here is the patent for it...

Maybe in testing it never worked.

Looking into it further, I'm quite sure you're right. Jegs shows it as "4 days" which is Jegs-speak for "we'll order it from the manufacturer". And it's not on Dedenbear's web site: http://dedenbear.com/thrtl_cat.htm

So I think you're right.

Maybe the idea of a price tag of over a grand............is why there not seen.
