New from Racepak – the Drag SmartWire. This device acts as a drag vehicle’s power distribution center, reducing wiring complexity and weight too. See more details below.

Official Release:

The Racepak Drag SmartWire serves as a drag vehicle’s power distribution center. Solid state design eliminates traditional fuse panels, breakers and relays while reducing wiring complexity and weight in the vehicle. Inputs and outputs are user-definable, enabling complete control of a drag racing vehicle’s power needs. It also connects seamlessly to Racepak data recorders and display dashes.

The Drag SmartWire comes fully programmed with common drag racing functions and a pre-labeled wiring harness. This means that the user need only plug the SmartWire into the harness, run battery power to the SmartWire and then connect the ends of the harness to the outputs to be controlled (starter, water pump, fan, etc.) That’s all that’s required to wire your drag race vehicle.

Based on Racepak’s exclusive single cable V-Net technology, the Racepak SmartWire module is the electronic “starting point”, with a direct main power connection from the vehicle battery to the module. Each input/output is then user defined, both in function, power requirements and current exceeding limits via a USB connection to the user’s PC. The design of the module functions to both reduce overall installation weight / clutter, while providing a quicker reacting electronic system, through the solid state switching design.

Manual activation can be achieved through use of either an optional eight switch Racepak Switch Panel or 16-channel Switch Module. From the Racepak Smartwire unit, a single small cable is routed to the SwitchPanel, reducing wiring clutter. Users needing additional switch panel capabilities can easily expand through the use of a “jumper” cable to a second Racepak SwitchPanel.

The V-Net compatibility insures a seamless integration with existing Racepak data logger or displayed equipped vehicles, while also providing a future upgrade path for additional inputs, control modules and instrumentation, when utilized as a standalone power control module.

Each Racepak SmartWire Kit includes the module, software, connector kit and USB programming cable.

Features:

• Design of the module serves to reduce installation weight and clutter
• Functions essentially as a “command center” for all of your vehicle wiring
• Exclusive single cable V-Net technology integrates seamlessly with Racepak’s data loggers and displays
• Unit can be activated manually through a supplied 8-switch SwitchPanel
