Vp c-44

I sent Bob Blackwell (D5 Technical Department) an email asking him why VP's C-44 fuel is not on the Accepted Fuels List. VP has told me on two different occations that it is a non-oxygenated fuel, but NHRA blacklisted it years ago. Upon questioning NHRA, Bob said he forwarded my email to Jim Collins for further review. Jim is the guy who developed the fuel testing system for NHRA. Bob told me that C-44 has "oxygenating properties", but would be looked into again to verify.

I haven't heard anything as of yet. It's only been a couple of weeks, and Jim has been away from home. So now I'm curious if anyone has any experience with C-44, or knows anything about it. We wanted to try it on the dyno soon for comparison purposes, but if it's illegal, we'll stick with C-11.

Anyone have any thoughts??
