KB,
Serious, I have gauges for everything!
I make light of it. But you really WON'T have enough time to monitor all of them.
I have brake bias gauges, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, fuel pressure, and a tach.
Starter switches and fans, bells, whistles, and lights.... There is just NOT enough time to check all that in a race situation.
Also, since I am not INEX/ 600 racing legal, I don't have to worry about that.
The minimal approach is your best bet. If it's going to blow it's going to blow!
Spend your money on the safety issues (belts, suit, gloves, etc...) and just getting the car to the end of the race.
What's a "real race car" look like?
Most I have raced, or seen, use very little in the way of gauges.
You just won't have that much time.
Brian,
These things have a windshield?
All I have is a screen!
Might have to look into that next!
Steve
PS,
Don't know what Dave wants for the dash with tach....
But you can match the gauges with the brand of tach.
I have parts from Dave...
I will tell you that he won't sell you junk!
