Longacre Racing Products Ignition Switch Kits: Race-Ready Electrical Control
When it comes to cockpit safety and reliability on race day, few components are as mission-critical as your ignition switch setup. Longacre Racing Products has been engineering purpose-built solutions for the racing community since 1978, and their ignition switch kits reflect the same philosophy that has made the brand a staple in pit lanes across the country: precision engineering built to withstand the rigors of competitive motorsport.
A Brand Built for Serious Racers
Jack Jaynes founded Longacre Racing Products in California in 1978, and the company eventually expanded to Washington state, growing alongside the demands of the sport. The very first Longacre product was the Gagelite Warning Kit — still sold today — and from that beginning the company quickly expanded its line to include pre-wired gauge and switch panels. That heritage of electrical expertise carries directly into their ignition switch kit offerings.
Longacre is an established brand in the racing industry, recognized for its dedication to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. In 2017, Longacre Racing Products joined AFCO Performance Group, further expanding its resources while keeping the focused, racer-first product development that built its reputation.
The Elite Switch Panel Line
When it comes to race-ready wiring, reliability isn't optional — it's everything, and the Elite Switch Panels from Longacre Racing Products are built to deliver dependable performance under pressure. The ignition switch kits in this lineup come in a variety of configurations to suit different cockpit layouts and series requirements:
- Toggle Starter/Ignition — A clean, classic panel layout with toggle-style switches for traditional race car wiring setups.
- Push Starter/Ignition — Offers a push-button start configuration, popular in modern circle track and road racing builds.
- Ignition with Flip Cover — Adds a protective flip guard over the ignition switch to prevent accidental activation — a key safety feature in any competition vehicle.
- Ignition with Master Disconnect — Combines the ignition switch with an integrated master kill switch, keeping electrical safety controls centralized and accessible in emergencies.
- Multi-Accessory Configurations — Panels are available with one, two, or four accessory switch positions alongside the ignition and starter, allowing racers to control fans, fuel pumps, and other auxiliaries from a single organized panel.
