Got an error message that brad@vpracingfuel.com was not a valid address.
I'll try to call him tomorrow.

Ed,

His Email would be Brad@VPRacingFuels.com

The letter is correct. The top 10 nationally are eligible. I will be walking around at the Gatornationals and will try to see as many people as I can.

Hey Marc,

Thank you for clarifying the e-mail address. Hope you are well. I'm about 8 miles from the track if you have any free time and want to come by. Not sure if I can make it out there this year...too busy, which is a good thing.

No, I did not set foot on track property to sell or deliver. It's called free enterprise. Have a nice day!

And there were even more Renegade cans and drums. You have to keep in mind that exclusive race fuel contracts are designed to keep the competition out. That means that the race series/race facility is bound to prevent all other than the designated "official" product from being sold ( or given away) on the property. And that means that all interested parties are on the lookout for any products other than the official brand.
I recall that the former official brand used to look in racer's trailers to be sure no other brand of race fuel was smuggled into the track. A famous Top fuel/Funny Car team was caught with the wrong brand of product in their trailer a few years ago. It's a ridiculous process, but an exclusive contract costs a lot of money, and the official brand is going to make sure they can make every possible dollar back.

Thanks Marc!

Now, how do we get our fuel, if NHRA won't allow VP on the property?

Several Pro Stock teams were testing here at Tulsa Raceway Park this the last weekend through Tuesday.

I asked one crew chief "You guys have to use Sunoco fuel, right?" He kinda frowned and said "Yep."

I asked "Do you guys have any issues with Fuel Check?"

He frowned, and said "Yeah we do." And kinda shook his head.

Now, I have to buy mine locally, and have to carry it in the trailer. Not crazy about that.

I just received a reply from Mark Ticen, from VP. He says national points, not divisional.

Re: Gator Nationals VP Race Fuel
 
Just wanted to give a big "THANK YOU" to all the racers that came in during the NHRA Division race and the Gatornationals to purchase fuel. It was nice meeting you all . It was my first experience as a VP dealer. Sorry I did not have any C25 for the racers that were looking for it. I will be better prepared next time. Thanks again!
