I'm assuming that under racing rules, the "surge tank"
would be required to be a regulation fuel cell of some
variety to prevent such an occurrence.  I'm also
assuming that any emergency shut-off for the vehicle
would kill power to the in-tank pump as well.

If there's room, and you can insulate it properly
against engine compartment heat, there's no reason you
couldn't put the "surge tank" in front of the firewall
(assuming front-engine here, as a rear- or mid-mounted
engine would be fine with plumbing directly to the
fuel rail to obtain a physically short fuel delivery path).
