I'd like to purchase a fire extinguisher to have in my car during HPDE events. What should I look for?

I'm big on Halguard fire extinguishers:

Halguard Link

But, this is the one mounted in my MINI:

2.5 lb Halon @ Pegasus

My one piece of advice, though, is to stay away from dry-chem cheapos from Walgetco. They're way better than nothing, but they make a HUGE MESS and the chemical tends to attack exposed metals.

The kitchen and garage ones (biased towards B-C) are better than the all-around ABC type. Get a decent size and buy a metal bracket to hold it in place. Make sure it's mounted where you can actually get to it - I like to put them in front of the seat.
