Racing Gas

[DAVID GAGNARD]

Hersh is absoloutley correct about this,I know for a fact. When I was in the dirt track racing business for five years we ran a class that required "pump gas" no more than 94 octane... Well we did that for a while and everybody had their "secret formula additive" they would use. Now the track tested your fuel after the feature race with a paper strip similar to the ones you find in a pool test kit. We expiremented for a year with different additives and found laquer thinner to actually be the best and too boot it also would not show up on the test strip....besides one of the owners of the car (we were 4 owners) worked at a body shop,so we got all the free lacquer thiner we wanted. We figured we could run up to 4 ounces per gallon without it showing up on the test strip. Besides we had to do something cause we were running a motor with 12 to 1 compression.....

I still use it everytime I go to the dragstrip....I go by the local Auto-Zone and get the house brand ($4.00 per gallon) and borrow their trans oil funnel and pour the whole gallon in my tank in the parking lot and then go across the street and fill er up (16 gal. tank) with 93 octane premuim. Those guys in A-Z can not beleive what I'm doing and just shake their heads every time.............

You should be at least a little bit faster with your wallet being so much lighter.
