My point was simply the safety of the Marshall. A car that CANNOT EASILY be turned off shouldn't be allowed to race in my opinion, its dangerous to the Marshall's and all in the immediate vicinity.
Carl, racing before I was born ! Well, your holding up well old lad, I didn't realise you were so ancient !  . My point is simply that I have being racing for a good couple of decades and then some, and I've had to Shut off my fair share of cars going out of control, thankfully they have never had the cells soldered in. |
thanks for the complement Andy, i don't often get told i look younger than i really am,lol i understand what your saying and have been there many a time
we have also lost numerous rounds and finals and even a national final because of dodgy connections, and for us that race week in week out it was to much a risk we have been soldering cells for the past 2 years and never had one disconnection, or for that matter one speedo blow up or fire,
its all down to good maintenance,and personnel choice,
and I'm sure Mick cragg and bradders and numerous others will aggree,
but if we all did the same it would be a boring old world would'nt it
