We've done everything they've asked, and still it either fails, or we get warned we're close.

I'll be glad to sell drums to any racer who wants it -- just call .And at a reasonable price ......... |
Jack, we get a good deal on fuel, a very good friend is a VP distributor. It's just that almost everyone constantly has problems with C12 passing fuel check at NHRA races.
If we were stupid or careless with our fuel, I wouldn't complain. But we do everything VP says we should, and we still have problems. I like the fuel itself, other than it makes the plugs look funky. But when it constantly fails a fuel check or it is borderline, there's a problem, and VP just will not address it. We've been lucky, we've never been DQ'd. But then, NHRA has been somewhat accommodating, too. We're simply not going to keep taking chances until we waste a weekend and $1500 on a DQ.
