Securing the battery
I'm about to compete in an upcoming autocross. I know that there will be a tech examining my car making sure it doesn't leak and all that. The car should be in great shape. But is the battery secure enough... is it secure enough to race with? Should I need to add anything to the assembly?

i am pretty sure that the tie down has to be metal, they specifically state no bungees--which i am sure applies to anything rubber.
my friend and i bent a flat piece of steel, drilled two holes in it, and secured it... no problem with tech!

Yeah, I was a bit worried beforehand but it turns out it was okay. It's in there nice and tight. I forgot to take the hubcaps off though, so they ended up clunking around in my trunk during my run. But yeah, thanks for the help guys!
