You will be allowed to bring your own fuels that are not legal for sale in Maine.  It will need to be in a sealed container and the VP rep will need to inspect our fueling.  He will also hold your fuel for the weekend.  If you are running fuels that the VP has, please help support his trip to the track by using his. 

See you all on Tues, wed, thurs.....

Thanks for the clearing that up Tim.  That gives me my 5 HP back.  Good reminder also Dean.  I know we all tip the fuel vendor at Maxton for holding and fueling us.  Only right to do it in Loring also.

Dean,

If you are in a gas class, you are using gas. In a fuel class you are free to use anything, correct?

Do they require that you use the vendor's gas at Loring?

DW

Dan, for sure if you run in a fuel class, anything goes. In a Gas class, yes and no. A VP vendor will be on site in Loring with sealed pails of VP. For the great majority of entries, this will be the gas source. But, like the ECTA, you can bring your own GAS in a manufacturer's sealed container, and the fuel vendor can fill your tank and seal it. The ECTA vendor sells "Rocket Fuel" brand gas, I haven't had any issues with their 118 in my turbo, but some NA folks with specific tuneups (like Greg) would rather run their own gas.

The extra wrinkle with Loring is that Maine state laws prohibit MTBE, which is common in oxygenated gas. So to run certain VP gas, you'll need to bring it with you from out of state.

Just a few days away, everyone make their tribute to the weather Gods!

Dean

Great news on the ZX10 head, I can't wait to see it run.

BTW - Is he entered in MPS/G or MPS/F?   I'm bringing my nitrous bike, and will enter in MPS/F.

10 day forecast.  The weather forecast changes by the hour in Northern Maine. I've seen that 10 day show a little of everything over the last ferw days.  Looking forward to being there again. 

Dean, I think we got the Grimlins out of the ZX-10.  201 HP on KWS's dyno Saturday in some relly bad air.  Now to convet the HP into MPH.  See you there.

My plan is to arrive around noon on Friday.  I hope to be able to set up my area and get the line moving by 2pm.  I will be there all evening on Friday.  Saturday 7am until 5 or 6pm (I think that we'll go to the stock car races at Spud Speedway).  Sunday 7am until 1pm (ish).  Please pick up any impounded fuel by 1pm Sunday.

My cell number is 207-337-4306
Safe travels, see you there.
