Default Hey Edgar!

We have discussed this earlier in a thread but there hasn't been a statement clarifying if following NCC 10.0 rule is in effect or if it was a mistake and this rule does not apply - at least not as stated?
3) No electronics are allowed. Single stage line lock on non drive wheels only. No timed pneumatic or electric shifters.
Delay boxes, transbrakes, two steps and playback tachs are permitted.
Air throttles, used as launch control devices are permitted. Stutter boxes and “timed down track throttle stops” are prohibited.
I'll need to know if I should remove the box or not and if I have to wire my nitrous throgh a relay and not through the box. As we are running on a Pro Tree, a box won't give you a advantage anyways as the delay is usually set to 0.00

It might need to be clarified but the delay box in okay in that class.

in ok? I assume that you meant is ok - right

Thanks

Like I said, it's really useless with a Pro Tree anyways but the only reason why I needed to know is because I would have to wire my nitrous differently through a reversed relay to have it come on when the transbrake is released.. Well, I might not need the nitrous at all, but that depends on weather conditions..

Depends on the weather.. I ran 9.90 @ 136.50 in low 70's with low humidity and about 7 mph tail wind.
In 80+ degrees weather with higher humidity, I might only run in the 10's (probably 10.10 - 10.20) on engine. If there's head wind, even slower.. so I might have to spray to be sure to be as close to 10.0 as possible.. the 25+ lbs bottle also adds weight and costs me about .03..
I will have the bottle hooked up and will be ready to spray, even if the car runs 10.0, just in case if I'll spin of the line etc..
