We're looking at installing a full throttle indicator light in our Improved Touring Neon ACR for our track video. We installed a brake indicator light and it works great... but hookup on that was a no brainer. I thought about tapping into the TPS but that seems like it would lead to problems.
Here's the brake light:

It's only so we can see it on our video... wont be seen from the drivers seat (although, that might not be a bad thing)
Whats the best option? Some sort of micro switch/trigger? I'm an electrical idiot... so type slowly ;)

Micro switch. Tons of nitrous setups use a WOT micro switch, take a look at nitrous installs to find some ideas. They're easy to hook up electrically, but obviously require you get the position adjusted properly to activate the switch consistently.

Another option is to tell your driver to holler (WOOOOOOOOT!) when he's got the pedal to the metal. This will not only give a clear indication of when he's WOT for the in car video, but also makes the video a lot more fun to watch.

Or get him to scream like a girl. I'm pretty sure that if we put a camera in the 300 rwhp Caterham that's coming to our track day, that's what we'll hear.
umm yeah so thats a fast neon..
