Actually, a healthy number of Prepared and Mod drivers use DOT tires as their
rains.(Hoosier Dirt Stokers).
Non-pump fuels can be spotted by anyone with a nose!
I no nothing of ECU's

Subject: Re: STS Tire Rules
- -I don't happen to agree with Steve H. regarding ECU's.
- -Fuel can be tested.
- -There are FAR bigger gains to be had by designing a tire
to beat the '140' rule, than by fudging the DOT rule.
Look at it this way: (example only)
Current "R" tires might be, say, 2 seconds faster on a 60
second course than a '140' tire.
How much faster would a full out racing slick be than
the current crop of "R" tires? (Given the same size, etc.)
Not nearly as much, imo. Maybe 3-4 tenths?
