When
you crave the most power, best
performance and must-have fuel
consistency, you need VP Racing Fuels.
Why?
Because race fuel is all we do.
It’s not a sideline or hobby, it’s
not one department or profit center in a
large conglomerate. Since 1975, it’s
been our passion, our lifeblood.
And it’s not just “race gas.”
It’s racing fuels of all
types—racing gasoline, racing
methanol, nitromethane. We don’t
make pump gas. Even the lone street
legal fuel we do manufacture is a 100
octane racing fuel.
Obsessive
R&D
VP’s
singular focus is reflected in our
obsessive dedication to R&D. Our
technological developments set us apart
from every other racing fuel
manufacturer. What other company would
focus on developing formulas for even
the smallest niches in racing—to the
tune of nearly 70 blends?
While VP Racing owns and operates a
fully equipped analytical laboratory, we
spend most of our time working with
racers in their shops, on their dynos
and with their vehicles at the track.
We’re actively involved in our
customers’ success. That’s how most
of our blends came about—in response
to specific customers’ requests for
help. Most of us are racers as well, so
we like the thrill of competition. And
we like to win.
"World
Leading Technology" is a bold
claim.
But
the facts speak for themselves—in
volumes. As if nearly 70 blends weren't
enough, VP recently has introduced two
new fuel blends—VP113 and Q16—and
two new methanol blends—M3 and
M5—that set a whole new standard for
power and consistency in drag and circle
track racing. And you can expect the
technological advancements from VP's lab
to keep on coming.
It’s
about winning.
Technology
aside, racing is about winning. And the
fact is, in racing not subject to fuel
rule restrictions, VP fuels more winners
than any American fuel company. Consider
the NHRA Pro Stock Champions who have
made VP their fuel of choice for 34
consecutive years. Or the VP-powered AMA
Pro Racing motorcyclists who swept every
Pro Class Championship for five
consecutive years through 2008. Or the
champions of the American LeMans series,
who rely on VP to fuel some of the most
technologically advanced cars in racing.
Even the Champions of the Reno Air
Races, where VP fuels the world's
fastest piston-powered airplanes.
So besides winning, what's behind VP’s
passion to stay on the leading edge of
performance? It's a recognition that
we're manufacturing performance parts.
And our performance parts can mean the
difference between winning and losing.

Race fuel is a performance part.
That's
right—fuel is a performance part, as
critical to your program as a camshaft
or piston. A race vehicle is nothing
more than a collection of parts. And to
have a winning race vehicle, you need
the best parts—and that includes
racing fuel. Racing fuel that is
specifically designed to optimize
performance in your application,
according to your requirements and your
fuel rules.
The
most cost effective performance gains
you can buy.
Because
you presumably race to win, you know
winning usually requires the best
parts—and you get what you pay for.
Formulating race fuel is challenging and
complex. Recognizing that race
fuel is a performance part, VP seeks out
and uses only the best components.
And the components that yield the best
results are expensive. That’s why
VP’s fuels are typically not
inexpensive. VP fuels are premium
products manufactured with premium
components. We take no shortcuts. If you
see a lower price on another race fuel,
your first question should be “what
shortcuts were taken in its
production” and “what am I risking
or sacrificing as a result?”
Price
vs. Performance
We
encourage you to weigh the price of VP's
fuels against the quality and
performance gains they deliver. We’re
confident you’ll find they're among
the most cost-effective parts in your
arsenal.
As an example, if you switch a drag car
from a generic 116 octane fuel to VP's
Q16, you can pick up 30 Hp (and
sometimes more) in a 550 in. engine and
a .03-.05 gain in your 1/8 mile ET. Even
if you're paying $3 more per pass for
Q16, that's the cheapest horsepower you
can buy!
Or say you switch your circle track car
from a “standard” 110 fuel to VP113.
You’ll find it makes more power,
offers better throttle response, burns
cleaner and your engine runs cooler. And
because it runs cooler, you’ll
maintain power through the longest races
and harshest conditions.
Considering what you spend on your
engine, isn’t it worth $1-2 extra per
gallon to not only improve your chances
of winning but also protect your
investment? |

Wangan offers:
Q16™
Q16
is highly oxygenated, requiring a
4-6% increase in fuel flow, which
will make 3-5% more power than
competitive 116 octane fuels.
Excellent in higher compression
Super Late Model or other
applications up to 17:1. Q16's
superior vaporization
characteristics yield more
efficient combustion and lower
engine operating temperatures. The
added fuel flow also effectively
increases the octane of Q16 by 6-8
numbers above its standard ASTM
octane rating, yielding greater
detonation protection.
