    Britt thanks for the full info on the fuel DQ.

    So SOUP is saying the test that failed was the "dielectric" portion. What would cause this to change? Would fuel age do this?

    I'm curious as I would think Sunoco would provide the same fuel around the country but if people are having to chase different fuel as they travel around the country that sucks.

    The DNS for Live Timing seems to be resolving over many ISP's now. If you're still having issues getting to Live Timing, give it some more time and try again.

    I'm confused by what I'm seeing on live timing for MotoGT

    Touring Sport Ducati goes from a lap of 2:41 to a lap of 4:43? Did the skies just open up like there is no tomorrow?

    Race was scheduled to end at 1:00pm Central. When you see the checkered flag on the track or in the upper left corner of the scoring screen, scoring is complete. Looks like 38 laps was it.

    Thanks....didn't know. I would have thought the last column would have changed from active/crashed/etc to finished or something.

    Race fuel is made in batches, and like anything else is subect to slight differences.

    If you buy it at the track like the RB says...then everyone has the same fuel..no one is "chasing" anything...unless the fuel isn't the same from track to track and then everyone is still playing with the same fuel so it remains a level playing field....

    However if you buy your fuel at home, that a distributor "tells you" is the same..you may get caught out on a weak limb.

    The fuel test equipment should be zero'd off a fuel sample out of the pump at the track..and all fuel samples from racers should match that sample...simple.

    Lots of things can affect the dc value of the gas, including water. Doesn't mean much afa the performance value, but it's an indicator that something else is in the mix when compared to the official fuel at the track.

    Erion is getting a rep for ignoring the Rule Book with Josh's crank and now fuel that was admittedly bought outside of the track. What a bunch of rebels.

    Bet Erion saved some $ buying a barrel at home vs at the track. Perhaps he's not so much a rebel and more of business man who didn't think the risk of not buying at the track was worth the dough?

    RE AND JU Thanks for the info you guys really help the facts come out, not the fan speculation mess things up like me. I don't know anything but me own opinion, its wrong most of the time but a fact pekes out from time to time.


    !!!!!!!!!!OFF TOPIC!!!!!!:Off:!! please be kind to your pets and slow people!!
    NO DISRESPECT TO ANYBODY PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT!!! JUST A QUESTION/COMMENT

    Maybe pull that Rolex Daytona ad money off that car(Russel is the man on two wheels tho no disrespect intended)? A source of revenue(sorry if those cars are free)? That could pay for OH YA MOTORCYCLE STUFF!!! Are there moto dudes that care about that series?? FUNNY NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THAT EVER?? Even after the motorcycle purse was cut in half at the beginning of the season.

    ERION with all those people on you team that noticed the tx mark on the can wouldn't you just get a different one? They do have a gas truck at the track? If you pointed it out to AL and you noticed it then why use it? Bring it home and return it? It cost Honda its first pole of the year!!

    Trying to learn about this stuff the hard way!!!!!

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OFF TOPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:Off:!!!!!!!!!
