Well, we figured out Vodden the Hell we are doing at Thunderhill. We melt down motors. Of the 5 races, we have run at this track, we have had four race induced terminal motor failures. Since the total motor loss count now stands at 5, it is clear that for us, Thuderhill is an engine killer.
How do we address this? Plagiarism.
During a walk-through of the Thunderhill padlock several teams, (normally the top teams) run a simple driver caution light system. This light system is connected to several critical sensors that get illuminated when terminal reading occurs. How do we do that?
Well, Sparky to the rescue. He now has a working plan to get a light system for the Z. The system will be a display dominated by a large red light with four indicating lights like shown below:
On the technical side, the light trigger system are currently set by conditions indicated in the chart:
We'll see if this helps, with the next Thunderhill race planned next September.

On the technical side, the light trigger system are currently set by conditions indicated in the chart:
| Event | LED Color | Trigger Range | ||
| Low Oil Pressure | Red | < 7 psi | ||
| Low Voltage | Orange | < 12.4 volts | ||
| High Water Temp | Yellow | > 225 deg | ||
| Low Water Temp | Blue | < 120 deg |

Orange is now purple, but other than that, ready to go.
