This to me is an innovation as it evolves will look quite different in years to come. Kinda like roll bars to bolt on cages to welded on cages etc... I love the thought behind it.
But I was wondering if this could possibly be an ignition source for dripping fuel from the tank when a car is upside down? Judging by the picture, with a car upside down the lights would be approx 6" above the puddle of fuel on the ground with the vapors rising upwards to the light unit. Per wikipedia "Since methanol vapor is heavier than air, it will linger close to the ground or in a pit unless there is good ventilation, and if the concentration of methanol is above 6.7% in air it can be lit by a spark and will explode above 54 F / 12 C".
I'm guessing these things are sealed units. What is in place to make sure these things aren't broke open in a crash exposing possible ignition sources.(bulbs, circuit board power source, shorts etc). Is there some sort of automatic power shut off switch build into it? A gyro type roll over switch or something?
Just a couple of questions I was thinking about. Maybe its not a concern idk. But i thought it was worth bring up.

Make the transponder have red LED lights in it. Make it so it is slim, less than the width of the cage and install it on the right front up right post angled towards the driver. With technology now days it would only have to be 2"-3" tall. They come on when the red switch from the track is turned on. Get with the companies making the transponders.
