Fire extinguisher

Is there a right and/or wrong place to install a fire exting. per NHRA rules.
I believe I have a good extinguisher on order and the proper bracket.

Terry, I mounted mine on the bar that runs alongside the passenger seat.

That sounds like a good idea Alan.
Problem is that I still use my stock seats('78 Camaro)
and the side bar is so close that I have no room.
Are you allowed to put the "thing" on the cross bar between the
two seats?
I have lots of room there.

Carried one in the Camaro when it was in Stocker trim.

Thanks for the picture Rich.
Had you ever considered placing it between the seats on the
cross bar?
I like the orientation of the "thing" on your passenger side bar though.

I actually put it there so someone else could grab it quickly from outside...you could easily see it thru the window with the door closed.
