NHRA racing gas just got cheaper.Maybe?

[Irace007]

A lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and now you're stuck with what ever they want to charge.Only good thing is it will pass fuel check week in and week out.

NHRA and cheaper…stop kidding around. It goes like this Supplier- NHRA-Dealer and then Racer. You don't want to know who gets the most. MB.

Surely we won't all have to run their fuel?

The accepted fuels list remains the same.

Sunoco is the official fuel of the IHRA and as I recall their fuel was priced reasonably. At the time it was around $7.00 a gallon.

Hopefully the NHRA will quit using VP traction compound.

See you at the races,

NHRA national events have not used VP traction compound for at least the past 8 years.
They use PJ1 what use to be known as VHT.

Will it be available north of the border ?? The race gas we get now is overpriced as it is

EXCEPT!! at the Bradenton Pro Am. Bradenton normally sells fuel out of their own pumps and although I don't go there often, remember they had reasonable prices. At the just completed Pro-Am they had locks on the pumps and had a fuel vendor selling 5 gal pails of Sunoco. He was selling 110 for $14 a gallon!! Sad thing is the same vendor has an office over here by me and if I go there and pick it up I can buy the same for quite a bit less. I know they paid a vendor fee but it didn't sit well with me that the track "endorsed" the racers getting hosed on fuel during that race. Lesson learned.

If Sunoco does with their race gas like they did with their street gas, it should stay reasonably priced. Here in Daytona within the last couple of years, they bought out a bunch of stations, mainly Shell, and basically saturated the area. They even have 3 Sunoco stations within a few blocks of each other about a mile from my house. But their prices are usually among the cheapest in the area.

They took over Nascar, are involved with IHRA and now NHRA. Hopefully volume sales will keep the race gas pricing reasonable like with their street gas.
