I have a question for those familiar with NHRA or other sanctioning bodies technical requirements.
My Nova has a trunk mounted battery. The positive cable currently exits thru the trunk to outside the car and is routed along the frame rail (for the most part) to the starter on the engine. I am presently re-routing the fuel line from the trunk mounted fuel cell and was thinking about re-routing the battery positive cable thru the inside of the car, up to and thru the firewall to the starter while I’m at it.
It seems to me that an interior routing for the battery cable would be safer than having it exposed to the heat and possible debris impacts associated with the external route. Does anyone know if this interior routing is NHRA legal and/or can anyone think of an issue with this routing i am missing?
Thanks,
