I am curious, All things being equal, why is a kill switch required when the battery is in the trunk area but not when in it's stock location? I believe 9.99 and faster a kill switch is required, period.. But what about the slower cars, why would it be required when moved, if the car runs within a few tenths with the battery up front?

The main reason is because the battery is now so close to the fuel tank or fuel cell (in the trunk area).
It also depends on what class you are running.
As to whether this rule applies or not and if you are running IHRA rules or NHRA rules?Last edited by ezcruisn71; November 30th, 2010, 08:41 PM.

If they need to cut the power quickly, they can easily open the hood while the trunk is usually locked. They would have to waste time prying open the trunk.When in doubt, Whip it out !Comment
