Default Re: HP on Monday?

I am led to believe that some people capable of running fast, carry a small
bottle of gas additive with them in there glove box or wherever, and add
that to their fuel when they have gone quicker than they wanted. I observed
someone who failed fuel check last year, and didn't observe any corrective
action to their fuel system. If I failed fuel check, I would dump that container
of fuel, take a new container to tech, make sure it was good, drain what was in the car, rinse it twice with the good fuel, fill up my cell and drive to tech to take a new sample of the new fuel and make sure it was good, but that's
just me. I'm sure everybody handles it differently.

This happened to me at my first race ever in Stock at Orlando last year. I essentially did exactly what you described and passed fuel check in Q2. I still don't know why I failed the first time but I took corrective action immediately.

M.J. It might be time to ditch the nail polish. There are now only Men
and Women. No more of that in between stuff.

If you go thru fuel check and your fuel fails and it is way out of wack for some suspicious reason tech will normally keep your sample and have it analyzed to see what is in it.
