A Poll Regarding the IT Rules Set

[DavidM]

With custom ECU's that won't work. All it takes is the flip of one hidden switch and you can cut the engine power in half (or whatever fraction you want).

True. The switch wouldn't even need to be hidden since it's legal per the rule book as ECUs are open.

However, maybe you could have something in the Supps for the event that says cars are not to be modified from their on-track configuration before being put on the dyno. There's nothing to keep someone from flipping their switch, but I think their integrity would come into question (Edit: If caught of course). I don't know if that's something you could specify in the Supps or not.

You have to trust people at some point. I just think it would be harder (mentally speaking, not actually doing it) to fudge things at an event versus sending in that dyno sheet of your car before the trick exhaust header and full ECU tuning. Maybe not, dunno.
