Re: one or two batteries?
I you need the weight anyway = Why not run a
second battery. We do in our cars.

Re: one or two batteries?
What’s nice about GT is class flexibility, if you need the weight then what John said. If you’re looking to be able to move up in classes occasionally then it’s a lot easier (and cleaner) to just remove weight bars.

Re: one or two batteries?
I totally agree that if you need weight, might as well be a second battery. One piece of advice that I learned the hard way, between races, separate and load test the batteries individually. If one of the batteries goes bad, it will take the other one down with it.

if you must run two batteries consider running an isolator you could even put a switch inside the car in case one battery goes dead. Hit the switch and you’re up and running.

Re: one or two batteries?
We run two batteries in the Cuda each weighing 11.5 lbs one in stock location one in the trunk. We lost a little weight off of the front. Dumbo only has one in stock location.
