Re: Ways to check on the use of illegal devices
But isn’t the data recorder part of Fast and Holley Systems?
Older cars yes I get that .

Re: Ways to check on the use of illegal devices
[QUOTE=Billy Nees;692338]As far as I know, all aftermarket ECUs that are accepted by NHRA have built in datalogging capabilities. And, unlike a Racepak which cannot datalog without an SD card, ECUs have integrated memory, and don't need an external storage device for data acquisition. An MSD Grid is an ignition box that can also data log, and you can't tell someone that their ignition box can't be hooked up during eliminations. I know that with a Holley ECU, you can program it to begin data acquisition automatically, whether it be RPM based, TPS value, so no need to even press a button to do so. Unfortunately there is no one true answer to the issue at hand. Should the Grid have been allowed in Stock/Super Stock? IMHO probably not. If they outlaw it, there will probably be an angry mob, so that alone may deter the decision to take it away.

Re: Ways to check on the use of illegal devices
Ok, point taken but can an "NHRA accepted aftermarket ECU" without a "grid" make elapsed-time altering decisions on it's own?
P.S., this is why Doug won't let me have my laptop!

There are many standalone products that will do traction control that are more easily hidden and do not communicate their presence.

Re: Ways to check on the use of illegal devices
just to add to your comments about the grid, they may not apply to all grids as it has been rumored for years, the existence of a "texas" grid which allows you to ride the dots and leaves no breadcrumbs.
