fuel out filler neck

[Suffolk GameServer LAN]

Saw a track car do this.
I recollect that the owner had overfilled the tank.

I'm guessing the gauge may be off?
Gas cap seal bad?  It may click on but the gas cap
no longer holds pressure so the fuels squirts out?
They do have a vent present.
Especially when full and testing G's while "cornering".
Newer gas caps are supposed to hold 7 lbs pressure?
