- The only change in verbage that I am aware of Keith, is that the cut-off is now mandatory. Otherwise the placement of the switch is up to the participant. Joe Timney has a neat remote operated unit t

- The rear of the car seems like the most logical place to gain a protected area, and still maintain emergency crew access. Plus they would have a pretty good idea where to look on each and every car.

- Doug & list, It is my impression that the switch must shut down everything. Even with a mag, a fuel motor can run on detonation, if the trans is in gear the wheels can be turning - not a pretty site.
