I built the harness like an OEM modular harness with weatherpack connectors that I salvaged from Hondas, since they were rebuildable. This kept my bonehead teammates from cutting wires to work on something. It also contributed to our win, since it rained during the endurance event and teams without sealed systems didn't finish.
We won all of the performance events except the drag race.
Car was powered by a naturally aspirated 600 CC Yamaha YZF engine that was converted to fuel injection using a Motec ECU and custom inlet plenum. Peak HP was about 90-95 with the restrictor in place. Car weighed ~500 lbs.

Nice! By "drag race" do you mean acceleration, or did they actually have neck and neck drag races in 2000? That would be so cool.
