It should be ok. If you go with a Gell type battery like Optima I don't think you need a box...I would have to go back and read SCCA's rule on that though to be sure.

What type of racing are you going to do?

This was taken from The BSP rules.

15.9 PARA C

C. Relocation of the battery or batteries is permitted but not into the

passenger compartment. If the battery is relocated and the original

battery tray can be removed by simply unbolting it, the tray

may be removed, or relocated with the battery. Holes may be

drilled for mounting or passage of cables. Longer cables may be

substituted to permit relocation. The number of battery or batteries

may not be changed from stock. The area behind the

rearmost seat is not considered to be within the passenger compartment.

The area under the rearmost seat is considered to be

within the passenger compartment.

This was taken from Page 28

15) Any wet-cell battery moved from the manufacturer’s original

location shall be in a non-conductive marine-type container or

equivalent, and the hot terminal shall be insulated. All batteries

(on-board power supplies) shall be attached securely to the

frame or chassis structure independent of the marine-type

container. NOTE: This will allow the use of gel cell or dry

cell (AGM) batteries without a non-conductive marine-type

container where applicable.

Hope that helps
