I know some local guys like the pruple stryke team fuel as well.

Can't really go wrong with byrons though.

I have ran Byrons, Sidewinder, Nitrotane, never had a problem with any of them. Last year we switched to Dynamite Blue Thunder Hp8 and it is every bit as good as any one of the brands we ran before. (it is made by Morgan Fuels) I rebuild engines for people and know what to look for and my engines look great inside. I do not use after run oil either. It also has Castor oil in it, I would stay away from full synthetic.

Like everyone has said....run what you can get!

I have been running Torco 30% for 2 seasons now and love it.

My votes for byrons race 3000 for your average everyday running and pro driver for serious racing
