    CAR WONT START RACING NEXT WEEKEND - HELP!!

    This does sound like a simple case of re-jointing the wires. I would also note that the sensors in the pillar behind the door do need to be connected as well or the car will turn over and not start. I had a very similar problem to what you have described, I had unplugged mine whilst stripping...
