just an fyi did some math and on our fuel car to run a mile we have to run 17.6 laps,approx 7 gallons per lap,which is 123.2 gallons per mile(see where im going with this)at nitro prices now 15.90 a gallon,so to run a mile its 1958.88 per mile.so if any of you tuners out there have any ideas to improve our mileage for god sake call joe he's freakin out,LOL

but you would get there in a hurry......
now, figure you use the majority of that 7 gallons per run for the 300 feet, and coast another 1/4 mile afterwards, or a mile in charlie's case at Primm last year, at least you get a little better mileage right? Probably just doesn't feel the same though.
