The main point incase here is that a race/promoter of an event is actually checking cars. We would hope they find nothing but you cannot negate the main point that someone was actually checking.

Donald Trump did not conspire with Russia in development of any Tree Sensing Devices...

You wouldn't find it anyway more than likely. Until you start opening up the electronic devices, boxes etc in cars then you more than likely will come up empty. Diffused photo electric sensor hidden in helmet or go pro etc., attached to a a RF switch transmitter with RF transmitter receiver inside delay box. not saying cheating is or isnt being done but with technology of today the window is their.

I’m proud to say this has gotten a lot of attention very quickly and has some of the smartest people in the industry working on prevention methods. It’s my belief detection will not be possible but prevention will. I’d say this will be accomplished in an extremely short period of time. I can’t thank those who have reached out enough. You all know who you are. Stay tuned!

I talk to a lot of racers, real good racers, and I consider myself to be slightly above average, not elite, but slightly above average.

I HAVE to have a good race car, because I don't own a horse shoe if you get my drift.

I along with most TOP TIER racers aren't afraid of cars that go dead on, because they know it's attainable. HELL I had 3 runs in a row within .001 this past weekend with cars that had never been down the track! and I know I can make them better.

Now the starting line is a different story, if you take the human element out of letting go, our sport as we know it will end. I along with some very smart and moral people will not let this happen. I don't have many muscles, but I'm flexing them on this subject.

You won't believe the progress made in 24 hours. Get ready!

Look for crew members with "cameras" on the starting line. The sensor is not in the car.

I appreciate and support Scott's efforts but nothing will come of it. In the meantime, lets start with mandatory inspection of car and driver at 16 cars and then impound the 2 finalist cars at the ticket booth and subject the driver's to search, have them remove their fire suit in front of officials and hand it too over for inspection.

A tree sensing device can be made and is no doubt being used by some people. I know it can be made because I built one back around 1990 as a project when I was in school for my Electronics degree. It was a small plastic box with a single small circuit board (that I built) powered by a 9 volt battery that had a remote mounted photo eye (sensor) that was tuned by the manufacturer for receiving yellow light frequency. I had an adjustment to null out the ambient light that would change just from time, clouds, or area lighting and to also null out the pre-stage and stage lights (they were all yellow back then). I had it wired in with the delay box trigger (button) so that it would break the circuit of the button (as if I released the button) when it detected a flash of yellow light. It was activated by pressing the transbrake button and would release on its own when it saw any yellow light. All you had to do was manually release the transbrake button before the delay box timed out to prevent it from re-engaging the transbrake. I never tried to perfect it and install it on a car because I just wanted to see if I could build it.

So yeah, if I can build one back then, Lord knows what is out there today.

Maybe a way to defeat one would be to randomly flash some yellow lights around the tree ??? But then again, they are probably using a laser sight at a specific bulb and not just looking for yellow light.

Oh yeah, I did test it on the work bench by using my practice tree. So I know that it worked.
