I have seen some higher end dragster builds where they have floor front to back. Also panels on the inside surfaces.
What are the advantages?

The stuff behind the cage and below the motor is used more as a drip pan/engine diaper. If the water pump decides to leak, it’s not on the tires

The panels inside the dragster c ock pit are for increased safety

It’s possible there’s an aerodynamic advantage, idk .

It is a safety feature that in the event of a wreck that knocks the body off the car, the interior panels will help in keeping debris out and drivers limbs in.

It gives the crazy painters more surface to apply the insane graphics to and like said above another layer of protection if something happens
