Ways to check on the use of illegal devices

I pulled on the scales one year during TT's at the US Nationals. At the time they had hired some young guy to look at electronics. He looked under my car and noticed a drive shaft sensor. He ask me where that was going to. I told him the ECU. I was busted. He had me take it off and hand it to him the next time I came across the scales. At the time ARC was not invented, but I was informed it's always been against the rules to tie your engine management to a counter (Drive Shaft Sensor). If there is no recorder (Racepac), there should not be a drive shaft sensor on the car. ARC will not be of much use without some way of counting speed/distance. I have installed many ah systems for S and SS guys and usually Drive shaft sensor comes up. I always relay what happened to me and I always get the same reply "The heck with that then" !
