Road racing without reluctor wheel.
I know guys run road racing and high rpm LSX engines without reluctor wheels. They have the reluctor wheel and hub shaved off. Why do they do this? What is the alternative to a reluctor wheel?

Must be Running a distributor like the NASCAR K&N East stock cars.
These are carb'd LS with L92 type heads.....I think.
I road race a Carb'd LS1 with the reluctor, fired by the MSD 6012 box.

Some racers are old school, preferring the 'tried-'n-true' simplicity
of carburation and distributor ignition.
Seems a shame to toss engineering that gave us coil-on-plug ign,
eliminating cross-fire due to ionization within caps and proximity
of wires, not to mention increasing dwell for better coil saturation
at high RPM. That eliminated the timing scatter arising from cam
chain and oil pump harmonics. That eliminated wet flow through
the intake ports. ect & ect
But that's just me ...

Do any of them still run fuel injections off of them or is it solely for the purpose of carburators? I've just notice that most high rpm engines don't run a reluctor wheel, something to do with it moving too quickly.
