Haha, well what happened was that I've only run the car at night twice now. Once was the class final at Belle Rose and it did the same thing. As soon as the car leaves, the power just shuts off. Well, I told dad afterwards that it had to be something to do with running the tail lights becuase thats the only thing that was done differently. So, we finally figured out what it was...

The only taillight that works (LOL), we looked at the wires coming out of the back of the light and the wires are just a couple of millimeters away from the weight box. So we're thinking that when the car leaves the weight box was getting into the wires, even if it just moved a little bit. Thus, shorting out the taillights and killing the fuse to the entire switch panel. It's a bummer, yes, but it's like I told "Cool" that just means I wasnt supposed to win the race. lol. To top it all off, about 10 minutes later, I go up there and give the stripe back .003 in Super Comp. lol. It was a shining 10 mintues for me.

On a side note, everyone might want to check the speaker holes in your package tray in your cars. They failed me in tech for it because all I had covering it was cloth over them, on the inside. Nothing a little sheet metal and pop rivets didnt fix real quick. LOL
