To be able to pass tech at the track you must also include a kill switch.

Yep it looks good behind the plate and not very noticable to untrained eye.

The ground problem is easy. Just buy a heavy gauge cable with 2 round eyelets on each each. One to the frame, one to the block. Put all the other grounds to the body.

Ground the battery to the frame in the trunk.

The challenging part, to be track legal. You must involve the charging system into your install so the engine dies when you disconnect the power.
