Race batteries? optima? odyssey? sears?

I finally got to the 1/8 miles track last nigh, made one run and the battery died out soon after that. My first run was a mind numbing 8.77 at 63 mph[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spin.gif[/img] cut a 1.9 60ft then I was just making sure it drove straight[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Pulled to the pits to check stuff out and lower the tire pressue. When to recrank and nothing, charged it, it started, then wouldn't re-start in the staging lanes. Had to get jumped, then some jackas5 car dumped dirt down the track so instead of shuting the car off and me not re-starting again, the techs let me limp down the side of the track back to the pits.

What battery does everyone run? Anybody using a race type battery? I think the ability to fully recharge a race battery in 1 hour and make several accidental full drains without killing it would be great.
