Battery lock out switch and rubber trims

[sideshow]

for racing u need the red key easily accessable

full on track cars have like a choke cable to pull on the red key from outside the car and also u need stickers showing where the switch and battery is

i have the double swithc battery keys but theyre not cheap

new efi engines usually wont turn of with a basic battery key
thats y they invented the double switching type

if the key is in boot then u need to leave the boot unlocked or key in the boot lock when racing

but at end of day depending on what class u race will depend what u need to do eventually if u get too serious in racing your car becomes more a race car and less a road car due to racing rules and regulations and also depending how serious u want to win

A lot of your modern injections systems let the ECU control the pump. If the ECU detects the engine hasn't fired in 5 seconds they shut the pump off. If the engine stalls it also shuts the pump off. That's how I've got mine set up but it's an LS1, the Ford ECU might work a little differently.

I've got a battery switch made by Flaming River. It's very solid and has a good feel to it. Bernie reckons it looks like a B&D garage door handle but I don't care. Some thieving bugger can't steal the plastic key with this setup. My switch just isolates the battery, I let the ECU take care of the rest.

Flaming river also do one that has double contacts so you can use it to disconnect the alternator output or if your wquipped with a magneto to shut it down. Expensive though at probably well over $100 by the time you get it in from the US.
