I went to the Cordova Division 5 race on Saturday.One run and then into eliminations.Right after I teched in,I went to fuel check to check the fuel BEFORE the run.This is a good idea if you only have ONE qualifying run to help prevent a DQ.At least you have a little time to try and do something rather than failing after the run.(Fuel passed fine)

The 2 that fail have a problem, not the testing procedure.

I went to Brainerd with fuel that just passed fine a few days earlier at Cordova and the fuel was borderline.
I found this odd,so I asked how the other cars with Sunoco Purple were checking.I was told that out of 65 cars,I was the ONLY car running that fuel.
I just bought some new fuel jugs thinking maybe I have a problem there.If that doesn't work,then the problem is with Sunoco or the testing equipment.
When you have had success with a particular brand of fuel,you really don't like changing unless you have run out of options.
I'm almost out of options.
