Nice work Mitch!
Do NASA's general competition safety rules require an externally accessible battery cutoff as well?? Or is the interior mounted one sufficient? |

Nice work Mitch! Do NASA's general competition safety rules require an externally accessible battery cutoff as well?? Or is the interior mounted one sufficient? I had to do a sanity check .... QUOTE 15.8 Master Switch An electrical master switch is recommended on all cars, and required on some, as listed in the class rules. It shall be mounted so that it is easily accessible from the outside. If mounted outside the cockpit, it should be mounted in an area where it is least likely to be damage (e.g. cowling near wipers). The switch shall cut all power except to the onboard fire system and any other life support / medical device. The switch location must be clearly marked. Any marked switch must function as per this rule, or the indication decal must be removed. My thought process was to make it "easily accessible" from either side of the car as well as me in the seat. |

As an emergency work for awhile, I can tell you.... I wouldn't want to(but will cuase i'm stupid) climb in your car if its on fire ect... to turn off the master power if the fuel pump is feeding the fire (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) I will(and have) do my best to keep your car from burning to the ground though. It's a good idea guys to leave the M/P and Fire system easy for the safety teams to get to(its just a little bit of wire) just incase you are out of it and on fire, and can't pull those systems yourself (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) JMHO EDIT: Looks great bud! What nose support is that? This post has been edited by firehawkclone: Jan 24 2008, 03:12 AM |
