Does VP sell anything else you can not get from another supplier? Why would one deal with them if you didn't have to?

I may be wrong, but I think the math is incorrect in that example. I believe fuel cars use about 12 gallons per run (close?). If you made 4 qualifying runs, and won, that's 8 runs, or 96 gallons per event. If you won all 24 events, let's call it 2400 gallons/yr., w/o testing. 2400/42 equals roughly 57 barrels, multiplied by $300 equals a bit over $17,000 in price increase for the season. Did I screw up my math?

Bad, bad, bad idea. This is the same as the government increasing a tax on all of us to subsidize a private entity.I think NHRA should raise the ticket price half a buck per person and give the money to the nitro racers to cover the adl. cost. I will pay gladly, Screw the warmups and burnout on Alky, real dragrace fans want NITRO and lots of it!!!!!![]()
