It would be interesting to know the behind-the-scenes details, but I would be willing to bet that it involved MONEY.

A lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and now you're stuck with what ever they want to charge.Only good thing is it will pass fuel check week in and week out.

NHRA and cheaper…stop kidding around. It goes like this Supplier- NHRA-Dealer and then Racer. You don't want to know who gets the most. MB.

Surely we won't all have to run their fuel?

Re: NHRA racing gas just got cheaper.Maybe?
If Sunoco does with their race gas like they did with their street gas, it should stay reasonably priced. Here in Daytona within the last couple of years, they bought out a bunch of stations, mainly Shell, and basically saturated the area. They even have 3 Sunoco stations within a few blocks of each other about a mile from my house. But their prices are usually among the cheapest in the area.
They took over Nascar, are involved with IHRA and now NHRA. Hopefully volume sales will keep the race gas pricing reasonable like with their street gas.

Sunoco is the official fuel of the IHRA and as I recall their fuel was priced reasonably. At the time it was around $7.00 a gallon.

Hopefully the NHRA will quit using VP traction compound.
See you at the races, Wayne Kerr |
