The Fuel Forward System
Revolutionary! The Fuel Forward Tank Tail is an industry first, conceived, designed and brought to the micro sprint industry by Hyper Racing. Mike Dicely, assisted by Jarrett Seng of RaceSeng Design, created this new ultimate tail design to get the fuel weight right where you want it: forward and lower by about 12%. Forward and lower is better, because it keeps the diminishing weight of fuel closer to the center of gravity of the car, reducing the polar moment of inertia. Also, as fuel sloshes around behind the rear axle it has a whipping effect on the car as it negotiates a turn, making the car looser. Moving the fuel load of 40 pounds for a little over 5 gallons (on average) front and down will translate to better handling of a properly balanced car. If the car needs a higher center of gravity to increase bite, the car or the driver can be raised. Keeping the fuel load down and front will keep handling consistent as the fuel load decreases as the race progresses.

The fuel bladder option of the Fuel Forward System takes the design intent to the extreme. The flexible rubber inner bladder does not occupy the back 8" of the tank, instead it is filled with energy absorbing foam. This serves two purposes, it adds a safety crush zone, and it forces the fuel even further forward. The bladder will hold a total of 8 gallons.
