Jaydubya, mine is a dedicated race car with all kinds of stuff, FAST shirt and helmet cooler, direct wired radiator fans, etc, and I use a small battery for weight savings, so when I line up I usually turn the kill switch off. Naturally, being the idiot I am, sometimes I forget to turn it back on, before I buckle and helmet up. There I set, with the 5 minute warning, and I gotta unbuckle and turn the kill switch back on.

The worse thing I did in that vein, was at Sebring a few years ago, got the 5 minutes, and reached for my helmet, and realized it was sitting in my trailer, 1/2 mile away. Talk about embarrasing.

F1rocks, if you turn the switch off at the hood, does that switch have to be turned back on, or can you use the one on the dash. Next question, if you use one switch to turn it off, and use the other to turn everything back on, does the on/off positions of the switches change, like it does on a light switch at your house?

Bill - thanks for the clarification

Perhaps a note on the steering wheel would help?

Perhaps, but I doubt it.

Not on my car, but looks like a good idea.
