IHRA jusat announced VP as the official fuel I hope whomever the distributor is charges a fair price especially now that gas prices are sinking fast.

I can't speak to Rockingham, but NED has the same price for fuel all season. National event or not. They didn't even change the gut buster special....which I was stunned to see at the same low low price of $10 if I recall correctly.
This would be an easy thing for the IHRA to dictate. Keep your fuel prices the same!
In my first season in stock, I made sure to call ahead, didn't want to run afoul of the fuel check if the track didn't have sunnoco blue.
I am looking forward to 09.
