I had the trunk stripped surveying the area for a killswitch mounting location when I finally get the battery mounted in the back. Of course I want a location that's out of plain view until I want it to be. The 1g guys are spoiled with that little panel beside their license plate, but we have no such thing.
My thoughts are that the switch shall be completely hidden normally, which naturally makes me think of behind the license plate, which would be removed for drag racing, and the switch can be mounted inside a bracket in a hole cut in the rear panel behind the license plate. That's going to take some work though, and I know some of you guys have killswitches, so tell me about your mounting locations.
Edit: should've mentioned I have the Moroso 175A switch. Granted the Flaming River switch may have been easier due to the detachable rod and the push/pull design.
 
Behind the license plate sounds like a great idea. The only reason I'd have for NOT putting it there is in case you're not at the tracks and have the plates on, then if you need to shut the battery off real fast for some reason (can't take too many risks!). You could fab some type of hinge on the top of the plate instead of the two bolts, then at the bottom have some sort of plastic clip to hold the bottom secure so it doesn't rattle.
 
we do have the accsess panels that just pop off so you can replace the tail-lights when they burn out .. ya could put it there.. or maybe under the rear strut tower accsess panel.

I'm looking for something that would be track legal and that the switch can be accessed from the back of the car in the event of an emergency. Otherwise inside the trunk would be a wonderful place for the switch. Thanks for the replies :thumb:
