It has to be clearly visable and easily reached. I put the battery in the back for traction purposes. Its sees more street time/action than it does at the strip, so I didnt feel like doing the switch. Oh, and just fyi, you cant “fill” in a polyurethane bumper, wont work. ---

Like your car had traction issues. Ive seen that fucker hook and didnt think it needed any help. I didnt mean just body filler on a bumper. Theres ways to fix cracks or holes though. Epoxy, plastic welding, etc. Im sure theres ways to mount a switch without it looking too shitty. Youre not the first guy with an SN95 drag car. Maybe a hinged panel that tucks up under the bumper when youre not at the track but stays down when youre at the track? I just throwing out ideas here. ---

I was thinking about mounting a switch through a spare taillight I have and before going to the track switch taillights. That way in a few minutes I can switch back to a regular tail light housing. I would probably use a push/pull style switch and just drill a hole though the taillight for the rod. The actual switch mechanism would be still attached to the battery though. ---

If you need a hand wiring up the battery kill, let me know. You have to break the positive battery terminal and the alternator output with the switch. If they see the N2O in your trunk, they will require a minimum 1-layer nomex jacket and rear “firewall” to separate the trunk from the cabin. I got heat on opening day with an empty bottle in my trunk and no lines connected to it… ---
