Interesting . . . but I have no idea what this statistic means. Given your
premise ("the auto-racing sanctioning bodies require fuel cells"), there
would be a total of Zero cars "with stock fuel tanks". If ALL of the cars
that burn in competition are equipped with fuel cells, how does one make a
comparison to cars with stock fuel tanks?

A plastic bottle with no internal bladder--such as might be permitted in a
drag race--hardly constitues a "fuel cell".
