Mike, can you make a .wav file that says "Simons says this paddock setup is a giant cluster-f*ck" when they hit the button?

I'm sure we'll all have fun once we actually get our cars on the track, but before that is bound to be hell.

That's the brilliant part of my plan. Being there around 5:30pm Fri night, well after all the cluster is sorted out :P

Thanks! You know, it only took a couple hours and a few bucks to get it to this point. (Yeah, right). Anyone know any good divorce attorneys? (hahaha, kidding ...)

So that is what your relay/ power transistor post was for. BTW have you added a remote switch so you can trigger simon frm within the car while on track?

Nah, flashing lights are against the rules. When we unplug the game (won't be on the roof for the race) we have a jumper plug to put back in which illuminates all 4 light strips for night running identification:
