Seeing that, which one would you expect to be faster?

Wonder if racing gas will drop in cost like regular gas ? I run a Sunoco gas station , my cost for tomorrow is 2.29 , been dropping about .10 a day last couple weeks . I always felt VP has been taking advantage of the racer . Glad to see the change , I feel everyone will be happy with the Sunoco fuel .

Other posts have said race fuel is chemical based, not a hydrocarbon base like gas and diesel. As far as fuel to fuel there are charts out there that show what crosses over. What I have been told that Sunoco has no replacement for C25 and in end of year testing the pros cars and bikes slowed down a lot with Sunoco. Comp I was also told has to use Sunoco. Tom

Whats with VP. giving discounts for top 10 in your class . If thats the case I over payed for fuel in 2014 , at least thats how I see it from the letter I just opened for VP. And they are going to run the same top 10 in 2015 so this is a heads up if had a goog year in the points ....

Hi Ken.... VP has had this program for years. It has been modified a few times. You would only have been eligible this year if you finished TOP TEN in the World points (not your division) in 2013.

The program 10 years ago was a free 10 gallon at each National you attended if you finished 1-5 in the World, or a Free 5 gallon for finishers 6-10. Now (as you read), they give away 5 Free gallon for finishers 1-5, and Half price 5 gallon for finishers 6-10.

I say.... Thank You VP.... You are one of the only companies that reward a Top Ten finish... Thank You again!
