What impresssed me was the affordability just by using Pump Gas.
Most of the regular Stockers and SS run well with Pump fuel and will not let other classes use it. Does not make any sense.

It would be a Cost Saving and IHRA/NHRA should start allowing it.
In fact if both Bodies want to add Sponsors, they could encourage the National Gas Brands to get more involved.

For example 94 Octane Sunoco and other High Test street performance fuels can be sold at Stations near the Drag Strips. Storage would be far safer and fuel more stable.

If you do not need the $8 to $12 per gallon fuels the Tracks have the capacity to handle those sales.

I think marketing Pure Stock harder would bring in more racers as Stock will look a lot closer to Stock.

Especially adding the foreign owned American built cars which would create a more local track race interest.

Sure wished NHRA followed up on this.

We can only hope so Dan, and beyond the lower cost fuel, it would allow the engines to run cleaner, so we could help keep our clean air clean...especially in the northwest with all of your trees! My car has a low compression engine, so It would probably like the 94 Octane Sunoco, over the 110 stock legal fuel. Good luck with your racing this year!
