Optima reds are great. The yellow is ideal for a race car.

I think I will probably go with another Red top. My battery mount cables are set up for it, and it will also accept my spare Yellow Top from the trailer winch in a bind. The mount required a little modification to work with the Yellow because of the slight difference in the battery top, and side post location. My Red Top is over 8 years old, and has served me well. Most of all, the Optima batteries are readily available at most parts stores, in case I need one while out on the road. I still have a long way to go before I need to be worried about a few pounds on the nose. Thanks for the input!!!
