There was enough time to make 15 T&T runs before running the competitions.
On racer made 22 runs.

Love the idea being able to keep costs low and put them into the car.
I filled up with Sunoco 93 Octane near the track.

Just think it is not good judgement by IHRA and NHRA forcing racers to use race gas.
When Pump Gas is useable for Stock Cars.

I can see for high compression but most of our cars are not.

I don't think 110 fuel is an improvement for low compression engines (especially mine)... many of todays regular autos, don't need to use Premium Unleaded like the Challengers, Mustangs, and Camaro's do. I can check my old log books, but I'm certain that when I had to stop using aviation fuel, and start using VP/Sunoco instead, I'm certain that it didn't help my car run any quicker, and actually may have slowed it down a little?
