Description

Sprint cars and midgets often run on magnetos and do not carry a traditional heavy-duty lead-acid battery. While this saves weight, it leaves the driver in the dark regarding critical engine health—specifically oil pressure. The Longacre 45624 Sprint Car Battery Pack Kit is the industry-standard solution that provides a lightweight, independent power source for a low-oil-pressure warning system.

This kit uses a single 9V battery to power a brilliant dashboard warning light. It features a specialized weatherproof magneto kill switch, which allows the driver to kill the engine instantly while protecting the electrical contacts from the mud, clay, and high-pressure wash-downs common in dirt track racing. This “Gagelite” system is the ultimate insurance policy for expensive racing engines, ensuring the driver sees a bright red flash the second oil pressure dips below a safe level, even if the car has no main electrical system.

Key Features

Battery-Independent Safety: Designed specifically for vehicles without a main battery or alternator. It utilizes a standard, lightweight 9V battery to power the warning circuit.
Weatherproof Magneto Kill Switch: Includes a heavy-duty, polymer-coated toggle switch. The weatherproof boot ensures that water and grit won’t seize the switch or cause a short during a race or a post-race wash.
20 PSI Warning Trigger: Comes with a pre-set 20 PSI oil pressure sender. The moment pressure drops below this threshold, the circuit closes and triggers the light.
Ultra-Bright 3/4″ Warning Light: Features a large, brilliant red indicator light designed to be seen in the driver’s peripheral vision, even in direct sunlight or through a dusty visor.
