Tesla Coil with spark gap proxy 02

My attempt to add a spark gap to a tesla coil. I've tuned the relay(spark gap) / LC tank and topload capacitance to get a a resonant output from the primary circuit and a fairly high voltage resonance from the topload/secondary circuit.
Feel free to correct me or improve on the design. I'm specifically studying the harmonic nature of both primary and secondary LC circuits via a spark gap delivery method.
The power source is a simulated NST 8000v @50hz
The spark gap is simulated by peak cycle firing a relay momentarily.

Spark gap tesla coils are almost impossible to simulate on EC, due to the enormous frequecy difference between the tesla coil (100kHz to some MHz, it depends by the coil and topload obviously) and the nst (50Hz). Another thing is that the spark gap and primary coil-mmc bank oscillates (obviously) at very different frequencies
