I agree ^^
All my cars with rear mounted batteries are wired this way. That big fat welding cable running up the side of car is only hot when the starter is kicking over.
Years ago I wired a rear mounted battery the way NHRA shows and that fat wire shorted out and caught on fire. Bad idea.
Ever since then I have wired it this way in the diagram... the correct and safest way...( note that the switch still kills every functioning item on the car when switched off )
