Traction control does not make a car run dead-on. It is really only useful in heads-up categories as a stopgap measure to minimize E.T. losses due to spinning. All traction control does is take power away, not promote consistency. Traction control would have to be coupled with a much more complicated system of track position sensors, run database calculations and brake control beyond the application of traction control, among other things, that are not components of EFI controllers. There are years and years of discussion threads all throughout the internet dedicated to the Matty Box.
