Fire Extiguisher size

What size Halon or Halotron or whatever they're calling it now fire extinguisher would be appropriate for a street driven SC? I'm guessing the 2.5lb would be about right. 1.25 just seems too small but I'm not a fire fighter. I know Halon is pretty impressive stuff. I had to be certified on a large halon bottle in the Air Force and it would put out JP4 in nothing flat.

Thanks for your advice.

Joe

Most track events specify 2.5 lbs. There are several places to mount an extinguisher, I have the bracket which mounts to the passenger seat slider.
