Staging with Bump Box.

[68camaroSS]

To reply to the origional question, it was developed to allow cars with turbo's to be able to spool up to rpm without pushing out of the staging beams while running on a pro tree. According to the ads, some Pro Mod's are using them now, so must be legal in some classes, don't know. I don't see any real advantage for using one on a bracket car, you are staging at a low enough rpm you can bump into the second light with no problem. Just something else to worry about going wrong.

might be legal for bricki, as i understand he is from overseas.
anyway, my $.02 not worth the hassle. anyone bracket racing should be able to stage a car properly every time...

Yea, down under they may not have the same rules, check the rule book.

Good day racers good call in regard to it being legal i personally would not use the bump box dont need it can stage consistantly
but a mate that runs super gas mentioned it to me that it could help
him stage deep enough to have killer reactions without turning off
the top bulb.I wonder what will be invented next.Thanks for taking time
to comment with your thoughts cheers.

It is legal for pro mod and the Adra 10" stuff but not for NHRA/IHRA. With a turbo car you can do something similar with a programmable MSD box.
