But it throttle stops aren't allowed, nitrous timers shouldn't be either. They accomplish the same thing - ultra-tuneable computer--controlled e.t.'s.
I agree with you Indyracer. The series I run in bans timers of any type. They do alow RPM shifters. Being able to use nitrous timers completely makes the rule against throttle-stops a joke.
