Over the last years of racing the '66 Chevelle, I tried upping my game, moving up in classes (club-to-club racing, bracket racing). Capacitive ignitions (Mallory first, then MSD 6AL later), two-steps, rev limiters, line locks, transbrakes (with long-throw mechanical delay switches), shift lights, two-stage nitrous kit (for a short time when still using a 327, before going to big block power), and other assorted devices were used. I quit racing just as I was ready to go with a delay box, which is another "module" to mess with.

But, if anything went amiss, I usually had a back-up for everything (I carried-along enough parts & supplies to every race, that other racers from opposing clubs would get spares from me); but nobody could ever carry enough spares for a modern BMW, nor could they diagnose and fix the problem between stages, I bet. Ha,ha,ha!
