Battery relocation and fire suppression

Fire safety is a primary concern.  Watch a couple cars catch fire at the track and you'll agree.  Our project is equipped with an on-board halon fire suppression system.  It also has a battery disconnect and engine kill switch to cut power in the event of electrical fire.  The switch can be triggered from outside the car or from a dash mounted pull handle.

15 lb dry cell battery is relocated into the smuggler's box.  The reduced weight and improved distribution are one of the best bang-for-the-buck improvements you can make.

Electrical cutoff switch provides complete battery disconnect and kills the engine in the event of electrical fire or other emergency. 

Note the two red cables. One is routed outside the car allowing corner workers to shut it down.  The other is routed to the dash.

External pull handle connects to the cutoff switch.  The handle takes advantage of the existing antennae hole.  

This car won't have a radio, the sound system is in the rear.

Old radio hole in the dash is fitted with an aluminum plate that holds the driver's electrical cutoff handle (right) and the fire suppression handle (left).

10 lbs halon fire bottle is mounted to the passenger seat base.  Plumbing runs under the carpet to the driver seat and the engine for halon distribution.

Driver halon nozzle is mounted under the column.

Engine halon nozzle goes through the firewall.
