Rev limiter is a good idea but don't position it so high (RPM setting) that the engine might come apart from being on it for a period of time - that has the potential to add more fuel (oil,fuel) to any fire plus control of the car (tires covered in oil). | |||

I put my high side 300 rpm over shift on 1/8th and 300 over finish line on 1/4 mile. With the Grid all you do is program the Safety Rev Limiter to come on a second or so after the ET you are running. Easy and great protection, JUST IN CASE> Be safe out there! Jok | |||

Me! I also keep my stuff up to date. We have it for a reason. I honestly don't feel safe in the car unless I have everything, that's just me. There is no price you can put on it either. I was wearing a /15 suit when my car used to only require a /5. I keep my certs up to date. I look everything over between races or tuning sessions. If something doesn't look right, it gets fixed. I still need to get these things done before the season starts again: -change brake fluid and look over the whole braking system. -change the belt on the belt drive -check all fuel system connections to ensure they are tight, not leaking or damaged -check all fasteners for damage, wear, and tightness -check all wiring for damage, being secured, and all electrical stuff for proper function -check lug nuts and bearing nuts, bearing adjustment on front wheels -change my oil, rear end oil, and trans oil/filter -flush the fuel tank and clean both filters -check converter bolts -general good once over... I'm sure I can list more, but these are the things I do off track....gives me a warm fuzzy knowing everything is ok.

Safety equipment is a topic that can never be discussed enough and maybe more important than ever in light of recent events. Golf cart fires is another. Here's my battery quick disconnect, we never travel with this battery in the cart... ![]() | |||

Does the tray break and the battery fall over? My cart battery has a pretty beefy hold down and the frame is molded plastic. How are you strapping the cart down? I'm getting ready to load my trailer with a cart for the first time. | |||

What about electric golf carts with 6-8 batteries? Take them all out? Even with your one battery, where do you store it while on the road? Nick Craig 1971 Camaro Split Bumper 376ci LS3 | |||

1. I wouldn't own an electric golf cart but if you do, then yes! Those that think that's nuts well just look to the many rigs that have burned to the ground because the battery(s) tray/hold down failed/broke and postive post became grounded when it fell over. 2. in a battery box | |||

Electric or not, make sure the battery tray is solid and add a top battery hold down bracket that is supported on both sides. Also put the golf cart in first, the ride in the trailer is much smoother in the front than rear! If you put it in the rear then tie it down very well, just like the car! | |||

The Digital 7 also has a safety rpm, I wouldn't set it a second over the ET on a fast car though, 3 tenths is more than enough. I set mine at 2000 rpm's which is high enough to drive back to the trailer without noticing it! For those who don't know how this works you set a time to activate after the transbrake release and then the rpm limit you want. Also for fast cars, it should have another main battery shut off in the car that you can push in a panic situation,,,, no time to look for the ignition, fuel etc, one easy to get at push knob is the best! | |||
