Battery relocation- is it possible to just use "remote battery posts" in the engine bay?

Nothing like having wires right above the gas tank. If you smack the rear and the wire grounds out with gas leaking, kiss her goodbye. 55lb weight difference isnt gonna change anything much. If you wanna lighten it, use fiberglass. I realize nhra makes this rule once the car goes so fast but its the most stupid rule they have.
