    So far it drive well.. I havent been out much but have about 8 miles
    on it.. I was real low on fuel and came home.. I've been putting in
    the inverter and that should be done tomorrow.. I wanted that in
    there so I could run my computer so I could see the injection data..
    so next time out I will have some data... so far I'm happy.. and this
    trans I did myself... all the other times it was someone else doing it

    The install of the inverter is done.. it tucks in behind the roll cage
    nicely and I used the plugs that most guys use to charge their cars
    at the track.. worked out very nice and a clean set up.. I have a
    few more little things to get done yet... but I'm very close to being
    done................... for now... LOL

    Depending on your brand of computer, likely you can get an adapter to power the laptop off of battery voltage (ie. cigarette lighter type plug.) I have one for my Dell laptops and for my tablet I just use a USB cable.

      Maybe I can get a lighter plug for it but I wanted a inverter to power
      other items also... I'm thinking about mounting a battery in the trailer
      and have a plug in set up there also for lighting and power tools.. I
      can charge the battery while on the road... this is still just a thought

        We usually charge the laptop in the hotel room the night before the track day/drive along with the Makita 18v batteries. The we are good for the day. I did add a cigarette lighter type outlet for charging phones, camera,iPad etc. to the Fox project. I think we're going to bring tunes this year in the form of a back seat shelf box with speakers, a class D low power consumption amp and an iPhone/iPod as the source.

          My junk is a street rod... stereo mp3 with decent speakers... I have
          a 3 port lighter lug in for the phone and gps... I have to look but I
          think I have 2 walky talkies that Dale and I can use.... I know I have
          2 of the good ones at my other house that the wife and I use during
          hunting season... I'm also thinking about mounting a battery in the
          trailer and a couple of plugs so I can run the inverter at the trailer
          for lights and power tools and what ever else... I have to start and
          see if I am running out of space in it
