race gas
 
Is vp-110 ok to run in stock. The vp people said this was the gas they recommended for my car, but I noticed it's not on nhra's approved list. I hope this is an oversight or i'm going to have problems at fuel check at Belle Rose . Thanks for any replies. Bill

WHy cant they just sell 6.50/gallon 110 , at the track, and everybody run IT, instead of 13.00/gal fuel...? It would make ME feel better! :rolleyes:

They have been having trouble with the 13.00 a gallon fuel passing fuel check also. Just ask anyone that was at Indy.

Paid 16.00 a gallon for c-11 at no -problem. Somethings got to give and I'm afraid it's going to have to be our racing.

Do you have Sunoco 110 (Purple) in your area? It is 1/2 the price you paid, and is on the approved list.

If anybody needs to find a Sunoco race fuel source, it's just a few clicks away here:

Bill we use Sunoco Blue which is $440 for a drum. Just a bit over $8/ gal. Always checks.

The Renegade Pro 110 is on the NHRA/IHRA approved list and you'll appreciate the consistency, performance, and the price.

Sunoco blue is what we use with no check problems.

Thanks for the replies everyone; No one should have to go through what we went through at Sportsnat's. The real kicker on the deal is when she finally gave in and bought the 16.dollar a gallon gas, they told her it barely would pass and she needed to get some different gas. She said she felt like reaching through the window and jerking the guys hair out. In the future we're going with Sunoco and be done with it.

Just last week I paid 98.50 plus tax for 5 gallons of C-11 at VP's Terra Haute location. Vaseline was not included. I was going through some old receipts a couple weeks ago. The VP I use in my bracket car has gone from 300 dollars a drum 8 years ago to almost a grand now. Needless to say I switched it over to Renegade 110. Probably stay with the expensive stuff for my new stocker since I wont be running it much this year.

Re: race gas
 
The Renegade Pro 110 actually has almost the same specs as the C-12. You're getting a lot for your money.

Rockett 112 is $467 a drum.

Sunocco Purple works great.

I use Sunoco 110, its light blue and I pass the fuel check.
The price went down from last year $ 7.79 to $ 7.59 a gallon.;)

Two Shell stations in the area have been selling "race gas" from pumps marked CAM 2, for between $7.45 and $8.50 @ gallon. Since it's no longer on the accepted list I haven't tried to use it any of the NHRA races, but I've been told that it's formulated the same as the Sunoco Blue.
The speed shop down the street sells Renegade 110 to the circle track folks for $8.00 @ gallon, hand pumped out of a 55-gallon drum. That works for me!
