Never really liked the Flaming River battery cut off switch I had installed along with a Lokar interior cut off that was attached to my PPP shifter.

So, I replaced them with a setup from HCR Innovations. Devin Vanderhoof is a professional race car wiring guru. He has a great YouTube channel as well.

A heavy duty relay with electrical push button switch that kills the battery power. One switch on the rear bumper, and one on my dash.






One of the nice things about this setup, that I have not taken advantage of yet, is the ability to put the battery up front and close to whatever electrical stuff needs it. Less massive battery cable running thru the car = less weight. Less cable also means less voltage drop to the stuff that needs it.

Going to Atco Saturday to get the chassis certification done - finally…

Planning to take it to Fark’s on Monday for alignment and weighing/scaling.

Getting close.

Where do you have the battery mounted?

Great that you work with Farks, those guys obviously have a lot of experience. And they are great people too.

Currently, the battery is mounted in the trunk. I plan to move it up front somewhere and eliminate many feet of welding cable.

Project for another day….

Sounds like a proper turbo drag car!

How long until the first test hits?

Hopefully in a few weeks. Maybe 4/8. Fingers crossed that I can make the first race on 4/14-15 at Atco.

Thanks John.

YBNats was on my radar, but just can’t get things done in time.

I’ll be in Europe for LsFest and Scotland for NMCA Indy.

I’ll be out testing locally. Likely Cecil next month.

Sounds nasty
Never got to meet you at Atco. Will have to make a trek to Cecil every so often.

Pete, I gotta get you connected to Kevin S from Hamilton Co NJ. Been campaigning that '69 Camaro (8.34@162) and he's buddies with Terrance W and Mark F also both local, all quick LS combos. Another guy Joe with a Nova with real fancy parts but has had a ton of problems this year. Good circle to know. I was talking to Kevin today and he's waiting for some <80F temps to run his car again.
