Gallons of nitro for all of NHRA for 1 year? (1 Viewer)

[Mike]

If counting testing, quals, and races, how many gallons of nitro does it take to supply NHRA for TF, FC, TAD, and TAFC combined for one racing season?

I don't follow the nostalgia series so have no idea how many nostalgia fuel cars are currently racing in different series (or fuel bikes).

Are there any nitro boats racing?

Well riddle me this. Let’s do an estimation for one nhra national event and look at top fuel only. I use about 7 gallons on average in a warm up and 15 in a run. Let’s say we average 17 cars per event and they all make 4 qualifying runs and every round has all the cars it is supposed to. You would have 98 runs and warm ups on the weekend. 98 times 22 gallons per warm up and run is 2,156 gallons consumed in top fuel only at one event.

crazy to think minimum 80K per event in just TF if my bad math is partially accurate

Just remember that when you've had a bit too much Nitro Fumes, and decide to announce, Hey next round is on me. Lol
