Brca approved list Speedos that do blinky aren't cheap, generally. The cheaper and more beginner level kit tends to not have proper blinky modes. You are then left with either checking everyones equipment for 0 timing and advance and no boost, or trusting that they have set it right. Someone will always "cheat" if they can.
I had this very same conversation with the OP Paul about Sherburn in Elmet mardave/Schumacher GT12 club at the meeting on Saturday. That club has chosen to go the proper brca blinky approved speedo and approved 13.5T motors on 1S route. This change has been successful for the club, far more drivers attending meetings than ever, good and fair competition, and drivers know they can go compete at any other brca club or event on a fair footing.
