I am in favor of allowing the removal, alteration, replacement of items that do not provide a performance advantage, I currently would not support this type of change under the current IT philosophy. I am not in favor of relocating the battery unless there was a safety issue. The re-location of the battery would change the performance of some cars, especially those of lower spec weights, by changing the the front to rear weight ratios. I have been very vocal in the past about the retention of "Non Value Added" stuff that just get in the way of maintaining a race car. But in keeping with any potential performance change, they need more discussion, and the will of the majority of the stakeholders to request the change. If the majority of IT racers want to relocate the battery, then the CRB & ITAC should not stand in the way and permit the change to be made.
