Where's the "like" button ?

JrFuel Hayden:
The only gauge we run is an oil gauge, well actually two of them, because we had a bad gauge one time, so one facing the driver, and one in front of the engine for the crew chief.
With a two step launch chip, and a shift light no tach is needed, and the RacePak tells me everything else.

I kinda wish the heritage series would do away with all electronics including data systems, ignition controls etc. put a mag in it and let em race heads up. Would be more fun. Just too dam expensive to be competitive almost. I'm sure ill get blasted for this statement...
H.G. Wells:
All right, I will chime in. Simple is good. Trans brake and mag kill on the wheel. Oil pressure gauge screwed into the back of the manifold, shift light on the side of the injectors, shifter on the right side of cockpit, parachute lever on left, fire bottle control under the shifter and fuel shut off T handle on top of the rear end center section. I do have a small dry cell alarm type battery to run the trans brake and shift light, and a memory tach under the cowl to check after the run (wise man told me I should not look at it during the run, no time anyway). If I configure it to run a battery to start there is also a cable operated battery shut off on the corner of the parachute pack.
JrFuel Hayden:
Dakota, it looks like you race Heritage NE-1, [ 7.60] I'm surprized if many NE-1 teams run data systems, or ign controls, just 2 step launch controls.
If you would like to run heads-up, no break-out, come race JrFuel, no ign controls, but RacePak is OK. I have lined-up sponsors for JrFuelDragster Association, plus website and FB pages.
