A/Q Wiring Service Customer: Larry "Bubba" Harvey, Jr.
Dirt Track Modified Race Cars

"Bubba" has been an A/Q customer for years, in circle-track race cars for both asphalt tracks and dirt tracks.  With two dirt-track modifieds, he kept us busy in 2010.  Here's the typical equipment on one of his cars:

• MSD Ignition system
• Independent ignition power and starter operation switches
• Remote-mounted starter solenoid
• Single-wire alternator
• Electronic memory tachometer
• Warning lights for low oil pressure, high water temperature and low fuel pressure
• Gauge illumination (with the operation of ignition power switch)
• Remote starter "bump" switch, mounted on the engine-side of the firewall (allows the engine to be cranked without reaching into the driver's compartment)
• Sanctioning body-required master power disconnect

The work was accomplished at Bubba's shop, using a pre-built instrument panel and harness constructed on-site.  The system design is typical of the A/Q-equipped circle-track cars over the years, the most important feature is routing the wires to insure they are away from any heat sources and also placed to provide maximum protection from track debris.

Here are some pictures of the car and the wiring installation:

• Main power terminal board, showing constant-on power, switched-on power, and ground connections (209k file)
• Right-hand side of the car (under the horizontal panel), showing the routing of the battery power wire, alternator charging wire, and power wires to the ignition and starter switches (155k file)
• Remote starter solenoid and wires connected to it (194k file)
• Battery safety disconnect switch, showing auxiliary connections for alternator charge wire disconnect (161k file)

We are proud to have wired Bubba's cars for several years now, and look forward to working for him in the future.
