    Helmet adaptor harness

    I know this is a long shot; I am looking for a helmet radio adaptor harness. My helmet uses the NASCAR style plug, and I was asked to help drive a car that is already wired with the IMSA style radio harness. So I need an adaptor to hook them up. The one I need is a female NASCAR plug and a male IMSA plug.

    Is there any chance anyone has something like that I could borrow for this coming weekend at TWS?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    No adapter, but I have a NASCAR harness. It would take a few extra seconds before and/or after your stint, but you could make it work.

    Edit: I think it's for a NASCAR plug... I'll have to doublecheck.

    It would be worth your time to call Robert B and see if he knows the pin-out off the top of his head. You could check it w/ a meter and verify it will do what you want.

    Just since it is quite lately;

    If any of you guys get the chance to run a race at night, do it. Man, that was a blast!

    Quick summary; we had a crazy quick car (RX7 with an SHO engine tucked inside). Got a large starting lap penality. Then had fuel problems through out the few several hours. A couple of rope tows into the pits, and an hour to change out the fuel pump / lines put us a bizzalion laps down. My first stint was as the sun was setting, so got to transition from light to headlights. Waaayyyy cool. Then discovered what looks pretty good in the paddock headlight wsie is a whole different ball of wax when trying to find where the heck turn 1 is at full race speed... pucker factor!

    But after several stops we got the lights dialed in best we could and was able to run consistant laps during the night. I later one ended up doing a 3+ hour stint from 3am ish on till you could just start to see the sky getting light out past turn 3. After I got out of the car, we made it to about 3 hours to go in the race and then is sounds like the tranny let go.

    Saw some crazy stuff; in general things look different at night from the cars that glow, spark, and in at least one case I saw, burn. The racing was much better than I was expecting. No contact with our car, and didn't hear much about it from other cars. I did see one car go off at T6 around 2am that from what i can tell, might still be out there somewhere...

    JB / Corey: I lost track of your car at some point. Wa happen?

    Was this TWS?
    I've always wanted to drive at night.
    I've also sat through a 3.5 hr stint. It was too much.
