OK, so yesterday was my first opportunity to watch the Saturday night Lawrenceburg USAC Sprint race. During a flip the fuel tank on the 15x car "liberated" from the car. If memory serves, this is at least the third fuel tank to come out of a car during a wreck since sprint weeks. Does anyone know why these tanks are coming out? Is it a chassis design/fabrication/mounting method issue, or is it a fuel tank manufacturing/design issue or hardware/fastener issue or something else? I know I have never been a fan of the mounting means on the "Outlaw" tanks, so much so that I mount my tanks with significantly more integrity.
What I'm afraid of is rather than decipher the root cause of this issue the powers-that-be will move to require some sort of tether arrangement like they did with the front ends.
Thoughts?
