Well, it may be fixed. Got 4 passes in last night without it cutting off. I'm crossing my fingers and going to Ennis next weekend. What I *think* it was, (changed more than one thing this week) is the battery ground cable. (This is an EFI car). It runs from the batteries to a starter bolt. This stupid flex plate shield required a twist in the cable to get the bolt through it. I soldered the lugs on each end. Looks like that pulled the solder loose. Not sure how it started as well as it did. But, fixing that cured it. Also added some redundant ground straps.
I want to thank all(several) the racers, many I have never met, for all the sugestions. You are a great group of guys!
Thanks again! Ed
