    Good day!

    I have a quick question about the safety shut off system for blown cars. If the throttle hangs open and the burst panel does not pop, can the safety system still shut the car down or does the driver still hold the responsibility of doing so in such a case.

    If the Track has the rf transmitter on as soon as you come near it, it will activate the shut off of everything. However you car does need to be outfitted with a rf receiver.
    There is also a switch in the dragster that if the driver hits the switch it will shut off the pump and the ignition along with throwing a chute.
