Well the speed secret is out with at least NASCAR.
Preload the cheat juice in the system, use it all up, and the fuel checker will be left behind smiling.
A squirt from the line to the motor is no more valuable than a squirt on the foot if a person wants to cheat.  :wink:

So what exactly is provided as gasoline at Bonnville? Is it regular 91 octane pump gas?? 100 octane??

ERC shows up with a whole selection of flavors -- leaded, unleaded, alcohol, nitromethane.  Lots of octanes and other parameters.  You can visit www.ercracingfuels.com to see all they've got -- I don't have a list of the particular choices that Rick Gold takes to the Salt, but I assure you that he'll almost certainly have what you need.  And if you don't know what you need -- he can help you determine the answer to the question.

And we think his advice is spot on.  He's talked us out of spending more money for a higher octane product, and four records later we think he sure knows his products and how they work.

He recommended 110K, which is labeled as "racing gasoline" and it is indeed legal to use in the gas class?? I forgot to ask, and don't want to bug him again! :oops:

All of the gasolines he sells are legal in the gasoline class, including 110K. 110K is more or less the "standard" racing gas that works well in 80% of the race motors. He has others, though, more suitable for say nitrous and/or forced induction, that have higher octane, but in some cases lower heat content. I believe he also has unleaded race gas. Any of them can be run in a gas class.
