(1) There must be someone out there who can explain the prevailing attitude regarding traction control cars and the V-10 Nationals.
(2) If you think they should be in the same class with other six speeds without it, I'm interested in your logic.
(3) I'm trying to configure a car to compete and would like to know where this issue is going. Anyone?
(1) Contact Dr. Roof, Dave Boggs. It's his gig and ultimately he makes the calls.
(2) I don't think they fall into the same class either, but what else can you add besides traction control that also shouldn’t be used?
It always seems to end up that someone has something that's better engineered over the second place finisher, or at least that's what many people focus on when they lose. Nobody in this series will run the same combination in the same class and you can't police it because you don't have the officials/organization strength to do so. Traction control isn’t the ultimate difference in the combination anyway. There’s a more complex puzzle than just traction control that can determine why someone has the advantage: Lots of $$$, boost control, more power to deliver, better driveline, gearing and tire selection, reactions, more competitive spirit, quicker shifting and on and on.
(3) Racing is synonymous with $$$$ and if you’re looking to compete in the V10 Nats at a level that’s close to unlimited then you need to plan on a high budget in order to finish 1,2,3. Can you incorporate traction and boost control into what you’re configuring for the V10 Nats? AEM? VEC2? Or the one that nobody has utilized yet in Viper Drag racing: MOTEC. (except for the SVS shop TT)
More than likely the T/C issue is going nowhere.
