battery location

Speedy Peets #4103 I/SA · 02-11-2011, 07:56 AM

noticed in the IHRA rule book, that they were allowing the relocation of the battery to the trunk, is that a IHRA only rule now? or is NHRA also allowing that in Stockers now?

Speedy, you can ADD an additional battery to the trunk area. You can not move the battery from the original location to the trunk in NHRA. Exempt of course are cars that came from the factory with a trunk mounted battery.

You also have to add a disconnect switch if you have the two battery set up.
