No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nationals
 

Hello ALL:

Got several emails regarding Fuel Checks on Pure Stockers.

There are NO Fuel Checks on Pure Stockers.

IHRA allows Pure Stockers to use Pump Gas or Race Gas..
You can mix them with NO consequence!
Pump Gas is fine.

Again ..NO Fuel Checks on Pure Stockers.

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

IHRA rules state: "Pure Stock entries may utilize OEM unleaded blends meeting the rulebook specifications." It does NOT say that you can use anything you want. It is NOT an open invitation to use ERC, Nitromethane, Methanol, Propylene Oxide, or anything else not on the accepted fuels list.

Tech questions should be directed to event promoters and our staff.

Mike:
Did you see any improvement over pump gas?
Talked to several racers and depending on their ride say Pump Gas works better than Race gas.
Usually they have Low Compression Engines.

I can see the High Octane working better for High Compression Engines.
Read conversations of one type being better than another.

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

Just wondering how many don't pay attention to rules or maybe don't care

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

Everyone pays close attention.
Hence the many questions on the forums.
Everyone has been stung by Tech at one time.
Vast majority of issues are honest mistakes.

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

race gas is not an OEM blend. Go figure

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

Yeah the controversy came when they Ethanol Blending was added to fuels.

Expensive Standardization..

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

I am realy trying to understand some of this. A couple of guys are all hopped up on pure stock. But then the same guys are talking about convertors and cams and now bragging about NO FUEL check. Is it pure stock or street cars that really should be bracket racing until they can race Stock or Super Stock or some other class that has been around since the beginning.

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

for your info ,brackets did not exist in the beginning. AND what is wrong with pure stock ? I have a regular stocker also. Ran Modified elim for years to. But of course there will always be haters

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

I really don't think I need you to tell me when bracket racing started. What I am saying is: if it is pure stock then dag gone it let it be pure. When you start getting cams done, convertors done and bragging about NO FUEL check, then it is NOT Pure Stock. Either race stock or not. What is so hard to understand. With these rules some of us experienced guys could put a two and half or three seconds under, just for the fun of it. What do you think Paul, Bob whoever.

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

Painter...the name is what it is..!
You can make the same argument for Stock or SS.

Pure Stock basically is Jr Stock with tighter rules.
Or
how Stock became after 1974 with tight Cam and Spring Rules.
Stock morphed because of time consuming Cam inspection.
Stock Tech now just measures Lift.

In fact most of us can drive our cars to the track and often do on the Street.

And you remain a hater, thats your choice

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

Painter,
Have you read the rules,and do you understand them?
There might be some under rated combo that can go 2- 3 seconds under,if JT Allen was still alive he probaly would have found them.
I can tell you this,I don't think it would be a 79 malibu 305/160-230,if you can put a pure stocker 2-3 seconds under let's see it just for the fun of it.
What's your real name painter?

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

"us experienced guys". OK Den! LOL! 2 1/2 to 3 seconds under LEGALLY??? That rich! You got experience with fogger nozzles?!?;););)

amen

My Dumb-*** Mistake - Fuel Check
 

After reading the rules and a couple emails politely correcting my mistake.
I unintentionally misspoke and instead cause a bone headed controversy.

Pure Stocker rules for our class state Street Gasoline (OEM Fuels ) are allowed.

If we want we can use the Stocker allowed Racing Blends.

It does not mean we will not get Fuel Checked.
That was my mistake.
Our cars have to meet the IHRA Guide lines.

My humble apology.

Dan

Let me know when you plan on coming down again. Our next race your way will be Bristol and some NC racing this July, Darlington labor day weekend, or the Div2 finals in Jackson SC late Sept.

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

Hey Kenny:
Wow you had a big schedule of racing.
It was a very cool thing meeting you.
Saw that 4 Pure Stockers showed up.
Only won one round Saturday and red lighted on Sunday.
Not a great weekend but had a lot of fun met several ole Florida racers.

Took off for Kissimmee where my family was waiting for me.
Went to Universal Studios and then took for the long train trip home.

Getting ready for Richmond as we speak.

Re: No Fuel Check on Pure Stockers at Autometer Class Nation
 

Bet you had a great time at Universal! My fam loves that place. That and we are Disney diehards. Wish I could hit Richmond. Ran the 55 there 2 summers ago at the double Pro Am. Had a great time and made some new friends. Hit up MIR on another summer trip. Another great facility. Good luck and kick some booty!!
