They are probably considering it an advantage because you can control the opening rate of the throttle after you leave the line. You could set your starting line rpm with it "relaxed" and set the rate it applies the power going downtrack with the air bleed. It would definatley help a fast car get more consistant 60' on poor track. Its not what its intended for, but you know people would do it to gain an "edge"

Bill hit it dead on. As you all know you can "adjust" how fast or slow your throttle opens, hence not having to worry about traction. I know at the NHRA D1 races they verify the wires are disconnected at the solenoid when you are at the starting line. Or you can do as I did and remove it all together. No hassles then.
I used the SLE for years but it really is not a problem with out it.

Hey Dick or is it Peter, same thing I guess --
If your too stupid to be able to deck it when your side of the tree starts to come down you shouldn't be racing.

What did you do before they had SLE's, have your girl friend tell you when to go.
Hike up your skirt and learn how to drive. p u s s y

I too am thinking of running some TD next year and don't mind the $$$ firesuit, it's coming sooner or later anyway, and the diapers are a good thing...beats mufflers. My question is, how fast do you think I need to run to get in a Div 3 field?
