Yes, that is what we use in one of our cars.

There is no current requirement for a passenger side door bar.  One on a diagnal would work.

We got screwed at The Real Hoopties of New Jersey  and we took cars down with us.
We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

The battery must still be attached to the car using a metal to metal attachment - simply attaching the box to the car is not good enough. That's the only tech issue we've had so far in 3 races - and they didn't say anything about it in the first race. Just be prepared.
