See you at the races,

NHRA national events have not used VP traction compound for at least the past 8 years.
They use PJ1 what use to be known as VHT.

EXCEPT!! at the Bradenton Pro Am. Bradenton normally sells fuel out of their own pumps and although I don't go there often, remember they had reasonable prices. At the just completed Pro-Am they had locks on the pumps and had a fuel vendor selling 5 gal pails of Sunoco. He was selling 110 for $14 a gallon!! Sad thing is the same vendor has an office over here by me and if I go there and pick it up I can buy the same for quite a bit less. I know they paid a vendor fee but it didn't sit well with me that the track "endorsed" the racers getting hosed on fuel during that race. Lesson learned.

VP Probably had enough of NHRA making more than them and threw in the towel that entire "official fuel of the NHRA deal stunk from day one as if a congressman orchestrated it republican or democrat take your pick they are ALL CROOKS

Things shouldn't change much at the national level. Sunoco will supply the same " spec ' fuels for the same classes. All other classes will still be free to use Renegade, VP, or Sunoco that's on the accepted fuels list. IHRA does the same.
The traction compound has been PJ1 for years, but now Renegade is producing their traction compound so some tracks have looked at switching over.
Bradenton just went to VP, but Renegade is at the oval track next door for a very low price, so there's some choice.
