Re: Bracket car battery suggestions

First off I should have never gone 5 years on this battery and it is heavy like 60 plus pounds . At the first NHRA race they brought in the NHRA regional tech inspector . He told me that all batteries have to be incased . Be in the bed with a bed cover , in the trunk with a firewall or in the bed with a box . I bought the Taylor box and mounted it in the bed If I can get 2-3 years from an optima I guess that's the way i'll go . I can always us the 3 year old battery in one of the trailers and rotate them that way .

What color Red or Yellow ?
