Battery Disconnect Master Switch
Most of the drag guys mount them on the outside, so in our case antenna hole or rear finish panel. Personally I would prefer to have it on the inside - since you are the first person at the scene every time. 
We put the kill switch on the passenger vertical bar of the main hoop on all of our cars at work, but I have also seen them in the left eyeball vent hole of the dash. Same idea, only downfall being if you end up laying on that side of the car, the switch is covered. Don't really remember what NHRA requires - I haven't even dragged in almost a year :( but just throwing those out there.

We were working on following a different sanctioning bodys rules so we put ours in the car. I kinda like the idea of being able to reach it from driver seat.
I don't know what motor you have in there but on ours, I moved the power wire to that went to the alt to the starter than ran a wire from the switched side of the battery switch to the alt. So when switch is off it cuts alt and battery feed to front of car. Single pole switch.
PS: had 2 "taylor" switched fail, went with a Summit hi-amp one for $30 not problems.

The car is such a handfull off the line that I have just been ignoring the lights and concentrating on my launch. I figure once I get the launch perfected I can start worrying about the lights.

The battery kill switch is only required for pro racing /course driving. You don't need one if you're attending a PDX or Race Day course event where street cars are allowed. If you are required to have a kill switch you will also be required to have a full roll cage, race type seat with a 6 point harness, fire system and window netting. These are required for Spec Miata drivers etc. You also must attend drivers schools and have a pro license such as SCCA, NASA etc.
