Two step versus high idle control solenoid

I used one of these on my street car for a season. It worked ok, but i didnt like it that much. But i know for sure that they are legal.

In stock under delay devices, it says see General Regulations 8:2 which says.....

(copying from rulebook)

In Categories that prohibit delay devices:

Changeable vehicle components, legal unto themselves (SOLENOIDS, throttle-linkage components, hoses, springs, etc.) even though the removal and replacement of that component may affect the reaction time of the vehicle in relation to the driver action, is not considered a delay device. WIRING MAY CONSIST OF A SINGLE CONTINUOUS WIRE FROM A POWER SOURCE TO A SWITCH (OR BUTTON), AND A SINGLE CONTINUOUS WIRE FROM THE SWITCH TO THE TRANSBRAKE OR LINCE-LOC SOLENOID. One splice (no quick disconnect) is permitted from the two-step to the solenoid (e.e., between the switch and the solenoid). All switches, buttons, wiring, solenoids, et.c must be for normal automotive use; i.e. NOT INENDED TO CREATE DELAY(ADJUSTABLE OR NON-ADJUSTABLE) BETWEEN THE RELEASE OF THE BUTTON AND THE RESULTANT ACTION OF THE SOLENOID. .................................................. ......................

So use away.
