"but this is 2017.. just like nascar went to EFI finally after gazillion years."
Its just like NHRA Pro Stock, They could of had EFI years ago, But they had to design a system/program that only controlled the one function that the racers could not mess with and not control other things. EFI computers are purged and program updates installed at the beginning of every NHRA event and the EFI parameters re-progamed by the teams

waaaayyyyy too much technology for me. we just changed from points to a gm hei last year. not a fan of it either. prefer the simple old school stuff.
noslin:
was speaking to person this weekend at the track and they mentioned running the electronics turns the class into something else, a different type of class. thus, running electronics takes away from what the class is about. putting the electronics just ads cost to the class and makes it challenging for those who are not familiar with it or have tight funds to be on same page. so i can see merit in not having it.
dreracecar:
Its not about tight funds to be on the same page, its more like why spend the money for somthing that is not needed, If everybody has it , then there is no advantage in having it and if nobody has it , nobody is at a dis-advantage.
