Some say other brand fuel is faster but that depends on number of things.
Have run Sunoco purple in my cars for years, blue last season becuase of ease of availability to me and cost. Have had issues with fuel check on and off for years. Had a big deal at Englishtown points meet 2011 have had enough of that.
As I said the fuel is good, the culprit is how the fuel is handled before getting in the hands of the racer. It's not a national problem.
The safe way is to install a fuel cell (PIA), buy fresh fuel at the track when racing NHRA. If the fuel being sold during the race is bad it's not the racers' problem.

I agree. There is nothing wrong with Sunoco Race Fuel. I would prefer to honestly use it over VP for a variety of reasons, but it still won't pass for me. We ran purple for many years and it simply stopped checking. If it did check I was told it was borderline. It didn't matter if it was from a sealed drum or out of the pump at the track. I also think an exception should be made if you buy it at the track and it doesn't pass. That is not the racer's fault.
