    Would you be interested?

    With race season around the corner, and the economy in the dumps times are getting tough for all of us. And with Race Fuels prices still high, and some still extremely high i've taken on a project to find some fuels that work well and come in at good prices.

    So it speed things up, I've been offered the opportunity to test some fuels back to back. The fella's from VP are willing to make a trip out for back to back tests on a dyno. As well as the fuels i will bring.

    Nothing is confirmed, but we have to parties that are interested. Would WBD be interested in allowing us to use the dyno for testing? I figured i would ask you guys first as a fellow BCM sponsor.

    This info would be posted all over the net, and your guys' name would be on the sheets if it happens.

    Chad, I talked with Brad about this today. He is onboard with it. You just need to call him, give him the details, and set up the time to do the dyno runs. Also, haveing nice cars to do the tests on is always a plus!!!

    We'd plan on my brand new setup, A buddy's TT built motor cobra, TT built motor 350z and maybe someones nitrous car depending on the fuel im sent.

    Torco folded. Then 2 new guys bought the name from Even Knoll, trying to make a come back in Arizona. But ironiclly, Renegade has been blending fuel for the NEW Torco!

    Sunoco, we have done tests already.....they have the lowest Motor Octane 110 in the market. There 112 is decent, 114 is good and maximal is pretty good. But they definately aren't in the big game.

    So that leaves two players in the market.

    Here is the reason im doing these tests, Im looking out for us index/bracket/weekend racers that are not PRO 10.5W Heads up style racers. The guys who are being effect by the economy and can barely afford to race competitely the way it is, and is getting harder and harder with things going south with the economy.

    So if i can prove Renegades 110 is close to VP 110, it's $4/gallon cheaper

    Renegades 112 vs C12, $4.75/gallon cheaper

    Renegades 118 vs C16, $3.85/gallon Cheaper

    If you take that and times it by 55 gallons, the weekend racers like us will gladly like to save $200+ on a drum of fuel.

    With the economy bad and getting worse, people are willing to slow their cars down and race in a slower index or bracket than try to push the limit and break their bank account.

    Is Trick still in business?
    Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.
