We had the same problem, do the burn out and then brake to back up, the engine would die.
Also have the problem at the top end, make it through the finish line , brake to make the turn of the track and the engine dies again.
We solved the burn out problem by adding a baffle with a flapper that closes when the fuel wants to run forward (Roo Man built the tank).
The top end was no solved by the baffle as that negative g fource last longer.
I added a small tank in the return line and a primer pump that takes fuel from this tank and dumps it into the distribution block.
If the engine starts to stumble I give it a shot from the primer pump and can make it around the corner. I can also start the engine if needed by myself this way if needed.
