If you look at the first rule is this:

16.1 ALLOWED MODIFICATIONS
A. All Stock, Street Touring, and Street Prepared modifications are
authorized. Except as noted by these rules and the referenced
rules, vehicles must be as originally delivered including all road
going components such as lights, wipers, interior, heater, etc.

And if you look in ST* Rules you will find:

14.9 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The make, model number, and size of the battery may be changed
but not its voltage. Relocation of the battery or batteries is
permitted but not into the passenger compartment. If the battery is
relocated and the original battery tray can be removed by simply
unbolting it, the tray may be removed, or relocated with the battery.
Holes may be drilled for mounting or passage of cables. Longer
cables may be substituted to permit relocation. The number of
battery or batteries may not be changed from stock. The area
behind the rearmost seat is not considered to be within the
passenger compartment.

So yes. You can relocate your battery in your car.
