My understanding is all nitro used in racing comes from various manufacturers in China. With the huge increase in tarrifs on everything imported from China starting tonight the cost of nitro could go through the roof. A HOLE LOT OF NOT GOOD!

hopefully they have a good supply on hand here but it may get short next year
 
India manufactures nitromethane and their tariffs are right at 26%. I have no idea whether the quality is on a par with China's. But it is available.

Thanks for the info Bob. I just checked and VP imports 100% of it's 99.9% nitro from Hubei Fobo Chemical in China.
This seems accurate, every barrel I’ve seen at the race this weekend has these markings and says made in China.

NHRA screwed over the only hope they had to bring more cars to TA/FC (a dying class} they had. (95% to 91.7% Nitro to what ever next. There are only 9 cars in the class at Vegas. 21 cars in TAD. many on the TA/FC's are thinking a lot about the future of the class. After the last official order Sean is #8 he would not be able to qualify for a points race with that E.T. congratulations NHRA on another BIG mistake again.
PS; I am glad I didn't go to the Vegas race. what a circus. that was to be my last and it is.

Sean ended up with a 5.49 for the #1 spot. The A/F combo is still fairly new to the class, I think it's a bit early to start punishing NHRA, it took years for the dragsters to achieve parity, the FCs aren't too far off. Having parity in any headsup class with more than one combo is never going to be perfect, but I think it's too soon to give up on TAFC.

Sorry ended up 8th, they said screw this and upd the Nitro for testing and told the tech guys what they did. I will be shocked if the run 1st. round. this Is BS.
PS; to early to start PUNISING NHRA, if you knew what I know you won't be saying that. So much so I had evidence and it caused a DD to be fired. NHRA could not hide it anymore.

I saw that 5.60 BFD. 4 Wide, I have said before I would rather watch grass grow. well my grass is still dormant so the second choice is 4 wide so here I am watching it. and it keeps cutting out.
Not much more I can do right now. getting my rev limiter reworked Friday. hoping to make a few more rounds before the final. either way I have won the race.🤞
