[QUOTE=Mike Croley;347047]It's hard to define what might give a competitive edge with race gas. Some race gasolines have up to 200 chemicals and compounds.
The race gas manufacturers submit samples of each fuel they would like accepted. Those samples are analyzed and recorded as to color and dilectric constant. There is a tolerance allowed, but the fuel you say you have has to be consistent with the known samples.
It's one more way to try to keep the competition level.[/QUOT

Mike your post is well taken......but keeping the competition level really only applies in a heads up race....why should you be bounced from a race when we are using shoe polish....the fuel had no bearing on the outcome of the race!!!
