In many cases, there's a considerable advantage in weight distribution in mounting the battery or batteries in the trunk, over the right rear axle centerline- but not behind.

This is necessary both from a practical standpoint as well as conforming to NHRA rules. | In many cases, there's a considerable advantage in weight distribution in mounting the battery or batteries in the trunk, over the right rear axle centerline- but not behind.
