Light Your Fire

The right MSD ignition box for your car.

- Wayne Scraba

I T’S NO SECRET THAT THE SCOPE OF DRAG RACING HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT FORMATS, CLASSES AND COMPETITIONS; SOME THAT ARE FORMALLY SANCTIONED, SOME THAT AREN’T. A few people might even call the competition fragmented, because there’s so much racing diversity compared to the past. This diversification can make it extremely difficult to choose parts for your car. One example is something like an ignition system for a sportsman racer. Companies, including MSD, have definitely kept pace with trends and technology, and today, they offer a plethora of ignition systems. There’s more, too: The spark needs of an 11-second bracket racer or lower class Stock Eliminator car are far different from those of a Top Sportsman car or a bad-to-the bone grudge racer.
