ferndaleflyerI know the South is mostly IHRA but they have a lot of index racing down here. But they can't seem to get it the same at any 2 tracks. Each is different.

ferndaleflyerI bought 110 here in NC this morning for $8.30 a gal. But I think he will go up because thats what he charged last year.
March 05, 2013, 03:05 PM
J115Fern, up here it's $8.42/gal IF you buy it by the drum $455 total, 112 is $8.98/gal $485/drum and this is Sunoco
may have to switch to akly next year $165/drum
March 05, 2013, 05:27 PM
ferndaleflyerJack whats a drum last you up there/, 2 years maybe

J115
good one Fern, I go through 2 or 3 a year
March 05, 2013, 08:26 PM
yarddart406The alky switch has me thinking. The next motor I build will be an alcoholic for sure.
March 06, 2013, 08:17 AM
bracketracer-78Hmmm, switch Frankenstein to Alky. That would be interesting. The price of race fuel is currently at $9.60 to $9.70 depending on where i would go.

The rules seem to be the same between the three tracks. This will bring out the test and tuners who will never bracket race. I imagine if this takes off there will be more classes and dates added in the future.

Here is a great article about the e-town index racing. It covers the 8.50 class that Maple Grove will be running.

J115that's because this year the winners of the 11.50 index racing will be invited to the Nat'l event at either e-town or Maple just I just don't rememeber which one
March 13, 2013, 11:27 AM
bracketracer-78I beleive it will be at e-town. I hope that this is a success and they add more classes. I would like to try the pro dial class.
