Imagine someone is at the track and sbc just goes out like rob

Some tracks don't have much runoff
It would be a disaster

***FINAL UPDATE***

The Beast is back home. What went wrong was the SBC had an internal fault of the ground circuit causing the SBC to shut down. It tested fine during load tests of the ground and circuit, but only during actual test drives could they get it to fail. Hat's off to the tech with the GRANDE KAHONES!!

New SBC, ground harness, fluid and flush.

Traffic was a mess going home (23 miles) so it got a really good test & burn in. My following distances increased "slightly" but by the time I got home the nervousness had gone.

Hulk,

Not by me, but I purchased it in 2013 & it already had a new SBC. 3+ years of ownership and not a single problem except maintenance and a license plate light went out. The cluster even told me which one was out!

The "module" WAS the SBC, oh those service advisors!
