I suggest a system like Coldfire

Having seen it in action at WGI many years ago, I've installed them in all of my race cars.

I agree with Bill. Halon systems do little to cool the fire and the fire often reignites as soon as the halon disperses. I have gone through several halon extinguishers only to have the fire reignite until I used water. The cold fire system will suppress the fire long enough for help to arrive.
