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.

The pictures above were taken during the build. The battery was put into a battery box after those pics were taken. This was hit pretty darn hard right on the fill tube. No fire and the battery cable was wrapped up in the quarter. If the tank is under the car run the cable in it. If the tank is in the car run the cable under it. One reason rules require a firewall in the trunk if the tank is in there. If this car had a fuel sell in the trunk the cable would run out the bottom of the box trough a large rubber thick grommet.
