Anybody know what this is about? I'm assuming they found something in somebody's fuel. http://nhraracer.com/content/general...754&zoneid=132

It may be a warning to both Pro Stock and Comp Eliminator.
The NHRA mandated Sunoco SR-18 fuel has been a nightmare for both classes.
NHRA will not give the option to Comp to still use the VP C-25 fuel while others in Comp can use any of the approved fuels.

Maybe there are fuel additives people have been using for a few years now that they finally have a way of checking for???

Go to insidecompracing.com and read about the fuel issues with the Sunoco fuel.

That's what I was thinking Bryan. Sounds like it might be multiple issues here.

It's gotta be the Cajuns. They are always carrying around questionable liquids.

I heard rumors at the Epping national event that Pro Stockers my be mixing there fuel with C25. A 50/50 blend was mentioned.
I know in comp. it took us 10 runs to get the fuel curve close with SR18 in the truck I am working with. We had 2 pails that didn't pass fuel check that came right off the truck but Sunoco replaced them.
