Re: Sunoco fuel at Indy
 

Couple years ago at Indy, I bought 5 gal of C-11. Poured it in my empty stocker and didn't pass fuel check. Wasn't excited about it because I thought I needed that morning hit to get in. VP was nothing but apologetic and immediately took what I had left in the jug, poured it in one of their empties and filled mine up to the rim with fresh fuel that passed. That's how its supposed to be done.

You guys are a killing me, Sunoco has been INCONSISTENT all year long. It's not a secret. The money you guys spend on your engine programs and you run Sunoco ?? I would not put that stuff in my Weedwhacker. M.J.

Re: Sunoco fuel at Indy
 

I hope the money Sunoco paid NHRA to be the "official fuel" was a one year at a time deal. Maybe won't be the case next year.

Re: Sunoco fuel at Indy
 

As one who was involved in this mess, I will speak the facts as I know them. George Yago and Randy Wilkes were DQ'ed for fuel, having bought my fuel from Sunoco within an hour of George's, I thought that I should have my fuel checked before eliminations. I had 2 previous fuel checks in qualifying with fuel that was purchased at the Class Nats 2 weeks previous and passed both times, now I purchased fresh fuel at this race and it FAILED.😡 The NHRA guy, Ken, was sympathic but could do nothing. I tried speaking with Russ Bradford from Sunoco, as he is the guy I was told was in charge, he was absolutely no help as he kept saying that there was no problem with their fuel!👿 I am lucky as I am only out $60.00 for 5 gal of fuel, but George and Randy are out a lot more. I have supported Sunoco as they are the official sponsor of NHRA, but now must reconsider. Their customer service leaves something to be desired.
