From the IHRA rulebook:

B: New dielectric constant (D.C.) of the gasoline must not exceed +1 for the following
classes: Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, and Super Stock.
The dielectric constant (D.C.) of

gasoline for Stock will remain at +2.3.


Just curious...anyone know what the dielectric constant of 91 octane unleaded is ?

I don't, but I think it's time to make some calls, because if I can run something other than regular racing fuel, it'll save my modest racing budget a nice sum of money!!! Given that other organizations are starting to allow unleaded fuels to help clean up the environment, it would also benefit us that way too....I'm interested!

^^ I Agree.

I was always under the impression that racing fuel was much better than pump gas, so why would someone not be able to use a fuel that makes less power ?

Maybe that's their plan? How long before all Stockers & Super Stockers become Modified production race cars again...remember those days.

Hey Rob,

I enjoyed watching your car at Rockingham. Your dad's also. And who was that dude with the '70 Chevelle? 1st time I've seen that car. Looked like it should have been in a car show, but when he made a run, it was flying.

Four pure stockers at the same meet. That was pretty cool. I've been scratching away on my car for seven years now, and it was the slowest of the four.

Rather than being discourged, it just gives me the incentive to work on mine a little harder.
