That ABS cut-off switch is critical. I practiced reaching for it over and over and one day it saved my ***. It is important to be able to lock up the wheels when you need to - like in a backwards spin.

The switch is really a fog light switch and is located between the speedo and clock. I'll not be at mid-ohio, but will be at LRP and Mosport races as well as a number of DEs.

Geoffrey, I still have the red abs switch in a box in my garage .... Hopefully when I see you this summer we can talk about how to hook it up. After talking to JC I think I want it in there. Thx.
