Pro Stock. The good old days

Hmmm, the only guy I know that was cheating with fuel was Jeg.

And the Seattle deal is settled fact.

So that’s quite interesting.

Was the fuel cheating you are talking about before or after spec fuel? And to narrow that up a bit if it was after the spec fuel rule was it when VP had the contract or was it after Sunoco got the contract?

I know the change from VP to Sunoco was a big change and a bit of a setback for all the teams but like everything else Hemi, the Hemi got hurt harder by Sunoco fuel.

IIRC, the Sunoco had a slower burn rate than VP and since the Hemi had to run more RPM than the wedge it really knocked the hell out of power on the Hemi.


I tried to dig up some info on this on Google but I guess they aren’t old enough to know Pro Stock was ran back in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
