It's more difficult than that, most tracks require you to sit at 3000 rpms and then kill it. They do this because they know the alternator will still run it. So you have to wire the alternator and the battery to a kill. You might want to check the drag racing forum.

well i know that they dont check the alternator so is there a way to do the kill switch just to the battery??? i know they dont make you "test" the kill switch cuz people started to complain because there radio/clock would reset so they just look at the switch and how it is hooked up

If they don't test it, what difference does it make if you have it? Why not just tape it to the hood and call it a day?
