If I understand the NHRA rule book correctly if running faster than 9.99 or 135mph you need a battery cut off even if running a front mounted battery?

If that's correct can someone explain what needs to be done? location of cut off? Trying to understand this rule and what racers are doing to follow it.

Thank You

 

you still have to have a switch that cuts all the power AND kills the running engine mounted in the rear right corner of the car. Easily marked someone walking up to the car and turn off fast. You just have the battery not in the trunk, and run the cables a extra time.
or you can use I think its called a moose, or mores cable. I soild push/pull cable off the lever on the back of the car, to the relay/switch mounted up near the battery.
The other style kits, like painless ones $150ish with the remote push/pull red button you can mount anywhere are not NHRA legal

 

OK thank you, so you CAN'T use a push pull switch connected to a high amp switch/solenoid at the front of the car for the battery power?

just a cable to the front to the switch?

 

Call me tomorrow. I can give you the dos and donts. Most of my cars are set up this way.

 

thanks

 

Morse cable to the back

 

Can you post a link of or some pictures of how that set up would work? I tried doing a little research but all I found was parachute set ups.
