Flat Track gas

[madcow393]

if you have been around it then you know that it smells real different! Does anyone know what is the dif between that and regular gas?

[yaka]

i have i think it smells good i think it is race gas mixed with funny oil cuz the 4 stroke smell the same

[JohnLorenz]

Allot of racers use a mixture of Blendzall or klotz in there gas. Some use a Blendzal blend for the engine oil. some of it just VP race gas, trying to squeeze out all the HP they can.

[madcow393]

whats blendzall and klotz?

Fat Chance.

[madcow393]

OOOO.... Be careful MotoMan, just guess what he does at work, then guess what he does at home then guess what he does in his sleep. Yup post on forums. But he'll probably just work on getting 10,000 at TT

[MotoMan]

Hmm, sounds like me.

Only I only post here, well and one other computer oriented BB, but I think I have a total of 30 post there or something. :

[madcow393]

hey, how many does he have at TT any way? I think he was rated as the fisrt TT adict. but then again your the First ATM addict

[MotoMan]

LOL, no I think the FIRST ATM addict would have to be 2fun, he started all of this.

Then Woody (Because he is in first) then me. But an addict none-the-less.

[Blitz393]

i only have about 30 more posts to top 2fun...

wont he be happy? LOL

[madcow393]

yup
hey where is 2fun, I havent seen him in a while.

[MotoMan]

2fun takes the summer's off as he has no internet connection at home, only at college.

However, I would think we should be seeing his little hedgehog soon though.

Then my guess is that Blitz won't be so close.

[madcow393]

cool. Cant wait to have him back. just out of curiosity but are his parents framers? no offence to him or nothing but its different to hear about a house w/o internet these days.

All right! post 802 for me! That's my #

wELL IN MY FLAT TRACKER i RUN SINOCO 110

[FFRacing11x]

87 octane NuTech Special5 is 2 hp right out of the can...Use nothing but Silkolene oils though I love the smell of Blenzall!!

My VW in college smelled like bean oil (Castrol R) Among bean oil users there used to be as many arguments and castigations about those poor wretches who ran whatever brand of bean oil you didn't. Of course you could always tell the "bends all" users from their well developed legs and lungs they got from pushing and crying. ( I think they used to say something about us more sensible sorts being "castrolated".)

The new oxygenated fuels have had me change my way of thinking about race fuels. At one time if you were not facing severe detonation there was no reason to use race fuels over pump gas. For years I have been jetting anything to run on any consistent quality (emhasize "consistent") pump gas or race fuel. Seems we could get any 4stroke under 12 to 1 (and even my 12.5 to 1 79 xr 500 motor) to run nicely on pump gas of 93 Min octane unleaded premium. Two strokes ditto. So in my case I saw no reason to run race fuel.

Like I said, that has changed. NuTec was the first oxygenated race gas I was invited to try. Noticeable in anything. Don't let the low octane numbers that NuTec among others publishes scare you. Those are, if I am not mistaken what is called "motor octane numbers". The ratings we see on the pumps are called "minimun octane ratings". The socalled and very confusing term of "minimum octane rating" is derived by taking the "motor octane number" and adding it to the "research octane number" and dividing by 2 (averaging in other words) to get the "minimum" number that appears on the pump. Of the two ('motor octane' vs 'research octane') the research octane number is often times 12 full points higher than the motor octane number. Thusly a "motor octane number" of 87 may translate into 96 or so if it were given a rating like we do pump gas.

In other words,,dont be scared of it. As FFR stated,,,2 hp right out of the can.
