    The drivers name is Pierce and the navarator Graham. The pictures make it hard to see the team name for googling.
    Not sure about those windshield bars. Possibly a requirement for the class they run...part of cage, fire retardation equipment, some kind of support/stiffener...

    This is the Bob Land racing VX apparently with a gas tank in the back-



    They know what they're doing and I'm sure that's the way it's done in most racing vehicles, but i wouldn't feel comfortable in a violent rollover. That is if it's even possible to feel comfortable in a violent rollover.

    Hmm! full cage (that surrounds the tank also), the tank is secured to the cage, has an outter shell and then an inner shell/bladder. Sounds safer than an expossed, rear mounted external tank to me! Plus it is seperated from the front by a plexiglass and aluminum wall and the driver/ navigator are wearing fire proof race suits and all at that level have fire supression systems...

    By the way for those wondering that rear bumper is almost exactly what mine is going to be like once it gets done. The only differance is the center section will dip down to follow the lower edge of the door to allow door opening!
