eliminated backup button
Sure not issue for most here, Backup button or reset delay after backup seems like extra to have to do. I decide to do away with need for doing either, Added a wot switch that sends power to solenoid when in reverse. Have switch to energize it, Flip cover for switch and light should ensure dummy in seat not leave powered plus have to be in reverse at same time.

make offer could use money and love giving a show.

Fuuny you mention since had a track worker come into locals gathering area, Country store. Was maybe 3 years ago. He was telling everyone nobody backed up as fast except Roy Hill, No idea who he was but seems he rmembers me bracket racing the Nova and that was 40 years ago.Plus do not recall backing up alot while running Nova sionce rarely burned out across line. I did smoke the hell out of few sets when new but did not back up a lot.

Maybe another name for switch but is what I found them listed as on ebay and amazon.

It's called a micro switch can be wired either normally open or normally closed for the circuit. Basically the same as a neutral safety switch.

I eliminated mine with a standard brake valve body.
Select reverse, I have reverse.

I love my old ATI full tree cast iron valve body.

Want to back up? Just put it in reverse! Amazing.

I like the added safety of the transbrake to engage reverse.

I also like my Shoot the Light switch in the door car, which will lock on and allow me to steer with both hands while backing up if needed.
