Would this be legal for sportsman in the Summit Racing ET bracket Series?

The BD-Power 1057727 Staging Limiter for your 08-14 GM 6.6L Duramax eliminates over or under boost launches. This easy-to-install module allows you to preset your best turbo boost or engine RPM launching parameter so you can focus your eyes on the lights – keep holding your accelerator pedal on the floor then release your brake pedal for consistent launches. Great for all racers - especially bracket racers. Includes factory and universal connections with dash mounted controls. Works with height adjustable pedal assemblies!


This is what it says in the rules:

12.0 Sportsman (12.00 and slower)
12.1 Computer: Prohibited unless stock OEM or OEM replacement. See General Regulations 9.1 in the NHRA Rulebook.

12.7 Throttle Control: Throttle must be manually operated by driver. Electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics or any other device may in no way affect the throttle operation. A dead-stop under the carburetor linkage or gas pedal us permitted. Throttle timers and counters are prohibited.
12.8 Ignition: Stutter boxes prohibited. Single stage “high side only” rev-limiters permitted. Rev-limiters or any other rpm limiting devices, legal unto themselves but altered or installed so as to function as a down-track rpm controller is prohibited. Crank trigger system prohibited unless OEM distributorless ignition. Ignition systems equipped with built-in two step rev-limiters must have the “low side” (start line) function disabled.

It doesn't look like you could run your truck anyway, clearly no "tow vehicles" allowed:)

I would say it violates this rule and any good tech or competitor would probably agree and call you on it. It changes signal at the pedal hence electronically controlling throttle.

Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking. So I guess they make these for different classes of drag racing.
