Default Which fuel? Byron’s is closed. Bones fuel is no longer.

Not many choices left. 30% is preferred. Racing, not a basher. What’s left in the states that tunes well and is consistent? Thank you

If you are a racer then you know what others are using.

VP 30/9, NitroPro is good fuel as well and it has 9.6% oil or something like that. There’s also Flash Point.I switched to the VP mentioned above after Bones stopped making fuel and been happy with it so far. Watch out for the oil Troll.

You did not explain that you are out for a while, as if that must be a reason not to look at what is used.
I can tell you that over here Energy is well used by many racers but I doubt it is available at your side. It was no non-helpful response, it is always helpful to watch what others are using, for sure at the local track because that means it it easy to get. But it is clear it is not the answer you want to hear.......

Thanks for the help. I noticed you’re just south of me in Arkansas. What tracks run 1/8th nitro in your area? St. Louis has dirt burners. I may hit a few races a month there. Looking for any other tracks within 3 hrs of Springfield Mo.

We have Eldo RC in El Dorado AR which is the only 1/8 off-road track left in the state. I moved here a couple of years ago from the south east.

VP and Nitrolux seem to be two of the most commonly used fuels.

VP Lutz Blend since Brent stopped selling Bones Brew.. He still has great prices on this, ships free, and fast, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon like the few smaller guys that are left will be.. Tunes killer, runs killer. Good luck bud! 🍻🤘

I will be facing the same dilemma. Mainly because my local track/hobby shop is closing its doors. Sad time for Dallas, Tx.
I will be forced to buy what local Hobby Towns carry or mail order.

Morgan makes a racing fuel labeled "Sidewinder" in 30%. I see Amain has it on their website.
