I've seen lots of max wedge, hemi, SD421, 409, 427 cars that used to travel the NMCA muscle car shootout circuit that route the switch through a taillight. gotta a spare taillight lens? As for what rules your local track will use when examining your car at tech, it depends... is it an NHRA track? if so, you'll need more than a switch... NHRA has made several rules regarding trunk mount batteries: you'll need an NHRA certified battery box that completely encases the battery and vents to the outside OR the trunk area must be completely isolated from the driver's compartment with sheet steel or aluminum (i.e. sheet metal behind the rear seat and under the package tray). > And I don't have the same carbs as the factory ones and I'm running Mickey > Thompson ET drag street tires that are supposed to be legal for the street. > Would my car be considered stock? depends on the class you want to enter. most likely, you'd enter in the "ET bracket racing" category, because, unless its an NHRA sanctioned event, "ET bracket" will be the only thing going at your local track anyhow.... With "ET bracket" you'll still have to pass a set of rules, but they are mostly safety rules, not correct carb or tire width rules (in "Stock" class, there are such rules, but there is no reason for you to enter that class).
