We did two days of Super Comp racing at Cordova Dragway. It's fun but would have been more fun if we hadn't sucked. I have a suspicion we have a can of bad gas, the more times it ran the better it ran. The last pass was a full tenth too quick.
There are two more association races on a weekend in September at Byron Il.
I worked at various gas stations for around 15 years Don. One place I worked, the owner/workshop manager raced speedway cars, and had several 200 litre containers of Avgas in the workshop that he also sold to a few regular customers.
One day a guy came in with a drag boat, and wanted a couple of jerry cans full, so I wandered into the workshop and pumped 44 litres of it into his cans. On my next shift, Chris, the boss, asked me which 200 litre drum I pumped the Avgas out of?
It turned out that Chris had been stealing fuel from one of the bowsers (disconnected the pump from the meter) and stored it in empty Avgas drums, so the “Avgas” that I sold the race boat owner was just “Super” grade leaded fuel which destroyed his engine. Needless to say, Chris didn’t tell him that it was the fuel, or he would have been up for a new engine….
