Just so you know, technically, according to the rules, it is illegal to have a relay in the transbrake wiring. Section 8:2 in the rulebook is pretty clear about the acceptable wiring for a transbrake on cars without delay boxes, and it calls for a single continuous wire between the switch and the solenoid, with one splice allowed for the two-step. Additionally, the rules call for the wiring to be completely separate from any other wiring and fully visible.

Now, who knows if any of the tech guys pay any attention to the rule or ever check the transbrake circuit, but they could.

It could be argued that a relay is a delay device since there is a finite amount of time that it takes for the relay to energize/de-energize and if you were really desperate you could test a bunch of different relays from various manufacturers and use the relay to tweek the car's reaction time.

Don't shoot the messenger..
