Look at the very bottom of this list of NHRA approved products.

Pacific Raceway has a full self-serv fuel station of race gas (Sonoco at the time) but when the NHRA shows up a large Sonoco trailer parks next to it and it's the only fuel available for the event. If you show up for a sanctioned National or Lucas Oil event with your tanks dry you will have nothing to worry about. Just your bank account...

Still hard to understand for me. Why not just a simple yes or no for each one, or a list for stock/super stock and no other class. Got to be a women righting up this stuff.

Its not that bad... If its on the list you will be good to run it unless otherwise noted...


Sunoco MaxNOS

VP C23 and VP No2

are the only fuels you can't run in stock or superstock...

Well can't run Snowmobile fuel either...

The accepted fuels list is a way for the sanctioning body to try to keep race fuels under control. If a race fuel company wants their products in NHRA or any other racing association, they must submit representative samples of each of those fuels to be tested. They must also submit certain specs for each fuel. Then, a racer tells NHRA what fuel brand and blend they are running and if the fuel sample taken from the car matches the manufacturers specs, they pass. It's a simple way to be sure that prohibited additives aren't in the fuel. Not all race fuel companies are allowed to submit fuels to be on the accepted fuels list.
