I don't think NHRA has been using VHT for decades . I think just recently they changed to VHT (PJ1) from VP

Don ,
you must be too young to know , or like me , too old to remember . VHT has been around a long , long time , and it's been used by every major drag race association for decades .

I know it has i know the owner of the company in scotsdale , but NHRA has or had a contract to use VP until recently , not sure now though as the traction at The Two national events i went to was good and i saw the VHT or PJ! stuff being used at Vegas but there was also of vp barell i am asuming the vp stuff was either for the local track races or left over ?

The contract you're thinking of was for the race fuel , not the traction compound . NHRA has had a long standing relationship with VHT traction compound for national events . Local shows can use whatever they want i think , though many tracks use VHT then too .

Great I guess the new starter is prepping the track differently . I think the traction at the two national events I have gone to was good

I saw the VP barrels along with the PJ1 last fall at the Divisional. The VP barrels were M-1 alcohol they were surely using as cut.

Glad they are using VHT this year.
Mike they have been using VP at National Events for the last several years, and the divisionals were up to the track, this I know for sure.
