Random question...are you going to be installing a hydraulic hand brake? Not sure how the courses are for hill climbing where you are if you even need it. You know for those hairpin turns.

This the bracket?

Heres some random snaps I took...

Pulling out for middle section practice. Pretty crazy that this is around 5:30am
Just before the first practice run of the top section.
And then the fog rolled in right after the first practice run and shut the whole hill down.

It was a silly start button that got stuck in the depressed position so the starter was engaged. The starter got so hot it was the plastic on it catching fire. It also killed the car (obviously).

Pretty bummed it was something so silly.
