Still need that? Per the link if you have an approved vented box a fire wall in not required.

According to the NHRA 2010 rules:

In lieu of a firewall, you may mount the battery inside a sealed box .024 steel or .032 aluminum or NHRA accepted poly box. The box must be vented to the outside and secured to the frame with two 3/8 bolts.

If you intend to put a fuel cell in the trunk, a firewall is needed.
