Just sitting here fuel starved

There is really no way around it. They straddle the drive shaft so they can center the weight on the car and move it in front of the rear wheels

There is really no way around it. They straddle the drive shaft so they can center the weight on the car and move it in front of the rear wheels for weight distribution. Its a good location but they need to put something between the saddles overtop of where the drive-shaft fits. They could use some special foam to limit the speed at which the fuel can go from the right side of the tank to the left, then on top of that throw in a transfer pump to continuously pump fuel to the right side of the tank.

Or they could somehow add a transfer line at the bottom of the tank and go underneath the driveshaft (maybe around the diff somewheres) to equalize the pressure between the two sides of the tank. Although this could lead to fuel starving itself, to get around it you could use a check valve in the line to keep the fluid from moving back to the left side of the tank on a turn.
