If you can set a record with gas in a fuel class more power to you.
Some would say the same about setting 3.0L records with 2.0L class engines...
I had originally posted that you could not run gas in the fuel class and ended up with egg on my face.
Rules change and I apparently did not know. My mistake.
We need to go back to the 1986 rule book as far as the definition of fuel goes. Section II-2. Fuel: In fuel classes any approved liquid fuel may be used. Approved fuels are: Nitrous Oxide, Nitromethane, and Methanol.
Notice NO Gas of any type was allowed in the fuel class. SCTA (we) need to be consistent in our rules. And as much as I hate to say it John is right. If you are allowed to run gas in the fuel class to set records, you should be allowed to jump up a class with smaller motors. It is no different.
In my opinion the gas powered vehicles have their own class, and should not be allowed to run in the fuel classes. No different than a guy who has a 2.0 Liter motor and wants to run in the 3.0 liter class.
