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.
