I used to road race motorcycles that had fuel checks on occasion. Most of the guys filled the low compression bikes with 110, I put 87-91 out of the pump in mine. Went to a race and the oxygenated fuel was in the pump and I almost got DQ'd for failing the fuel test. They pulled a sample from the rental car and it tested bad as well. No DQ. Once I realized that the fuel check would fail on pump gas, we put a nitromethane mix in the pump fuel. Bike ran pretty good then! :-D

I saved a bunch of money and it ran better than the race gas guys. Never told them my fuel source.

The funny thing is most sport bikes with regular pump gas because of their compression, I guess smell like they have a higher octane fuel than they actually use. I love going to Bike Week and smelling the bike exhaust cruising past.:toothy10:

My turbo Dodge Shadow is possibly going to become my NHRA stocker. Someone told me to drive it down to the track, swap the fuel filter, fill it up with race gas, pass fuel check, race, then drive home. Thats just too risky to me, I might break a c.v. axle and not have a spare or trailer, lol.
