What the heck do you mean by that?

I will say that NASA does not require fuel cells but are highly recommended. The location of the Mustang's fuel tanks though are in a very safe location. Not sure which is safer, center mounted fuel tanks or a rear mounted fuel cell?

Anyway, beautiful car. Dean makes great equipment and there is not doubt he knows how to pilot them too. I know he kicked my *** everytime we raced together!

what i meant by the AI comment is that it is not required by the rulebook. The factory location on the s-197 is VERY safe and we did not feel the need to do a cell in the car. Also helps keep costs down.


Will we see you in a few weeks in Utah?
