why was hunter DQed

Illegal Fuel

Got to weigh in here cause there is more to it. Hunter's fuel was tested since he set quick time. After it failed, others who had purchased fuel at the same track Hunter did had theirs tested and it also failed. As Hunter was the only one "officially tested' he was the only one Dq'd.

All the fuel came from the same place. Likely a water problem but without further testing we will never know. The track where the fuel came from has been told about it.

I feel his pain. 20 years ago next month, my car was DQed for illegal fuel after setting a NTR in qualifying. It turned out to be water contanimation but we were told to load up and prevented from competing in any more races that afternoon.

I think I remember that day. It was a warm and sunny Sunday. I was sitting in the stands and remember Rich, Emily and the kids walking back to their motor home with lawn chairs, cooler, etc. after the DQ.

That was a specific gravity test, right?

It only takes once, and you'll be cking your fuel before you buy it, either with an alcohol hydrometer, or the simple water test, I don't run with the big boys, but I ck every barrel of fuel, or 5 gal I buy or borrow. Besides the DQ, it's the damage to the fuel system! Bob

Fuel can have enough moisture in it that it does not pass U.S.A.C.'s test but is still safe to run in a engine.
