Please take note if you are racing the legendary MINT 400 you need to know this:

This is an excerpt from:

SCR18 Lights

All vehicles in the Classes 3, 4, 5-1600, 6, 7, 7S, Mini Metal, 9, 13, 15, 1450, 18, and Stock Bug must run a three inch (3”) diameter Blue light along with the amber light facing the rear of the vehicle.
The Blue Light is to identify the slower moving vehicles. This is to assist the faster moving classes to recognize a slower moving vehicle when they are approaching them.

I will look into LED's ASAP. Brighter, cheaper, take less amps.

I used to run blue lights in BITD Stone Stock full... They weren't that much. I can see why they are required, at least in this race. 325 cars including TT and Class 1 - ALL on the same 100 mile lap. What is that, 3.25 cars on every mile of this course?
