Angry Electrical help PLEASE

Guys first off I HATE electrical issues. My car last weekend shut off on every run I made.It would quit and then pick back up and quit again. No particular spot. One run in first gear, then second, then second and third. You get the idea. The last run it made it shut off completly. It would not restart. I found the fuses on my switch panel had blown. The ignition switch and electric fan switch fuses were blown.If you replace them and turn on the ignition switch they blow instantly. We checked for loose wires, bad grounds, bad switches, etc. Ive had this problem for 3 races now. Have changed a number of things with no results. Ive been told the only way to find it is to rewire the whole car. That sounds like a fun weekend or longer. Any ideas for me. I have a old style arc switch panel with the fuses in front. I have a MSD 7AL2 witha crank trigger. MSD 3 step also. This problem only seems to surface on runs. In the pits no problem in the water no problem.Thanks.
