So here's the thing I plan on getting into some autox / time attack in the very near future, the only problem is the track rules state the I have to have my battery bolted down. I've tried searching and was not able to come up with an answer, so is there a battery tie down kit for our cars or would I have figure out how to fab one up?

I've got an extra stock one. It's just a bar that goes over the top and bolts to the strut tower and a long J bolt that hooks under the battery tray.

Hmm I wouldn't pass tech.. there's no way I can get a tie on my battery but its wedged so tightly in between the strut tower and upper IC pipe it won't move if I lean against it with all my might

Hehe, tell 'em its bolted down below with an unseen bracket. That'll pass you.

LOL. get a small piece of rectangular steel and bend it so that it'll clamp the battery at the base and run a bolt through it and the opening for the Jbolt. they'll pass that
