How hard does LVD look for/want a driver to have a kill switch? I know its in the rules but is it something thats really pushed?

All theyve ever done is see if my battery was tight, checked my helmet tag and asked if I had nitrous.

The last time I went the guy said he remembered my car and asked if I changed anything and I said no so he didnt bother having me open the hood.

I dont know how he remembered since it was about a year since I had the car at the track.

The car looks like a turd, but I’m pretty sure even a tech at LVD will recognize the large intercooler in my bumper. I don’t know if its something I want to chance.

tech: its an awful nice looking car, you sure its worth running it?

me: yupp

Tech: ok go ahead and have fun

Didnt even look at anything other than the front bumper. My battery is in the trunk from the factory as well.  
After the first pass i was told i need a helmet or i had to park it by three different LVD employees lol

Will not let you run without a killswitch for a relocated battery if the car resembles being modified.
