Well, damn, SCCA is the same. Where can I find more info about that Ford Solenoid? I'm not even sure that would technically be legal.... The whole reason I haven't relocated my battery yet is I didn't want to have to run 30 ft of welding cable all over the car. I guess I might need to anyway.... Yes, I need the switch just for timed laps in Solo I. Err, no, I wouldn't have in our region's Solo I last year, but now that the 400lb Gorrilla is in charge of the Time Trial rules, I do...among other things....
