Dan, if you decide to try to run that car as an NHRA Stocker, be sure to not mix fuels. That is likely to not pass Fuel Check. I have had problems with the Sunoco I tried to use it for a while. Here in Div 4 (maybe other divisions as well?) they had stopped allowing VP fuel to be sold at the track. I have been able to buy it here locally. I figured it would be safer to buy Sunoco at the track, than to haul 15 gals of fuel while towing.

Lost qualifying rounds, due to failing fuel check. The sample the techs had were gotten at the track! Same place I bought mine! Maybe Sunoco has their act together better now, so their fuel always checks the same. I now avoid it like the plague.
A tech guy I know told me they found not even every drum checked the same. Different dates did not always check the same. He said they loosened their checking tolerances a little. Guess if your a sponsor......

I was probably not supposed to have told this. It is true.
