Default Electric Cutoff Switch install

Hi gang,
I need to install an electric cutoff switch in my car to attend a racing school.
Can anyone point me to a DIY?
Thanks in advance.

How is it going Touf? The cutoff switches for most organizations these days require that not only do you disconnect the battery, but that you also disconnect the alternator as the car will keep running other wise. So expect that install to be a pain. You'll either need to run a wire from the alternator, or from the alternator wire at the starter to the swich up front. No DIYs for this that I have seen...

The ABS system has an alternator lead and can be used since it is right in the front near the battery.
