Thats probably becuase dry cells (I'm guessing thats what you had) do not require battery boxes for the track.

you guy can get battery boxes for like $10 from a boat store, like west mariine or whatever its called.
as for the other boxes, you need an externally mounted cut off switch (marked with on/off) and the box needs to be sealed with vent tubes going outside the vehicle, and of course securely mounted...
they point this ---- out to me every time i go to the track... also there is nothing in the rules about Optima style batteries, apearently its still a battery just like the others and fallows the same rules (although i had an offical admit it was gay and the rules needed updating)...

Re:track requirments for battery
officials are generally smart people and know what rules are needed and which are bs. But if you go to a yuppy track, they enforce them all. I live right near rt 66 in joliet (near chicago), and they enforce more rules than nhra or ihraif you go 13.99 you need a sfi helmet. So I go to hillbilly *** rt 41 in indiana. Street car chaos rocks.
