Thanks for the reply's, I kinda thought it would be a head scratcher. The thing is I have been out of racing for years now as my kids did the Jr Dragster stuff. Well now they are done and I have purchased a Duster with a 500 cu in motor. This thing should run a low to mid 9 in the qtr mile. I am not licensed to run sub 10 seconds and without any seat time in a long time I need to slow it down for my own safety and those around me..haha.. The car has a trans brake in it that has never been hooked up and I have a good delay box with T-stop controller built in etc. I just was curious if anyone was triggering the timer for a T-stop with a brake pedal switch or anything like that instead of the Trans brake. I guess I should have posted my question in Bracket racing instead of .90 tech but this is where Ive read the best feedback on T-stops.
