Cheating to Turn Left Faster? Nascar 2007

dumb_ricer · 02-15-2007

What Nascar was originally saying it was was something that would consume oxygen in the cylinder.... Which would be stupid, and NOT make more power.

Then rumor mill started that it was "jet" fuel, which is normally based off of Kerosene, which is highly volatile, and probably not good in a motor that is fighting detonation every step of the way as it is.

If it is "cheating", I want to know what they found, throw it on a DSM intake manifold, and dyno it, to see if it makes any more power on a DiSeM! It just sounds too good to be true to me, lol.

What NASCAR said is it was an oxygenate. This adds oxygen to the fuel, making it burn more completely with more power if the mixture is correct.

Kerosene is a very stable fuel, that's why it's used in jet fighters.

Couldn't have happened to a better driver!!!

Dale Jr all the way.
