Thanks Dave, appreciate the input. I was originally thinking 2 systems like this as well but 3 different manufactures talked me out of it but still like the idea . The nozzle behind the driver is interesting, I will definitely consider it.
I've seen a few photos of cars on track with a fuel fire and I wonder if the automatic head (likely placed in front of the fuel tank) would activate while driving?....I'm thinking the air might push the flames away from it and out the back of the car.
Have any thoughts? Thanks.
