I'm putting the battery under the hood in the Duster since it makes the wiring easier for the EFI system. I think I can also simplify things by getting rid of the master cutoff switch with the battery under the hood. I looked at the rules and for a 10 second car it looks like a master switch is only required if the battery is in the trunk.

I'll be running a half size battery that only weighs 18 lbs so I don't think there will be much of a weight penalty. Seems to me like an easier way to go but most cars I see still have a full size battery in the trunk. Guess we'll just see how it works out. Anyone else running a small battery under the hood in a bracket car?
