How does this layout look?

I'm more of a fab guy then a wiring guy so don't bust ***** too bad. I'm in the beginning stages of wiring my car for drag/street so pretty basic job. As my base does this look ok? Iv seen so many different ways to wire these 3 together and this is what I have in mind. Good, bad or what should I change? Thanks.

Ya forgot that in the pic, its inline of the main power run, about a foot from battery. So it goes from battery, to cut off, then continues to dist bock.

That sucks, that makes me run another wire all the way back to battery. Fail.

If the alternator wire isn't on the battery side of the disconnect, the car will keep running after you shut the switch off. I also think you'd want bigger wire going to the starter. 4ga. should be ok for the alt. wire though.
