I have done a little club racing in the last few years, and fuel
testing sucks, about the only fuel you can buy that will pass the test
is at the track, about 4.00 a gal.. and then you got to have a fuel
port. I understand the need to keep the fuel safe and not harmful to
humans and keep everone on the same playing field, but testing can get
out of hand. If you want to read one group comments of testing, the DSR
folks, then here is there link. look under " rules"
