Opinions? It sounds like the approved device has quietly been in use for a while and takes another important function away from the driver. Should we just run R/C cars?

NO NO NO

The NHRA could never find it but John Force has been wearing a traction control device for years on his person. Nowadays it helps him get around the pits….

Reportedly….. it’s shaped like a….. shoe

Just playing Devil's advocate here.
This sounds kind of like a throttle stop on the burnout. Trying to keep from over revving the engine and blowing it up.

Nope. Clay doesn't use throttle stops.
