So you can soak the dog p*ss out of them!!

It's been discussed to death before, but you really have to wonder about a track that's still forcing racers to buy 10 gallons of gas whether they like it or not. Whether they need it or not. And pay whatever the track feels like charging for that gas whether they like it or not.
I'm also curious about the tires. If you have a flat tire during the race, where are you supposed to get a used tire to replace it with? You obviously have 4 used tires on the car from qualifying, maybe you've brought 4 new ones as spares. You have a flat tire, where does the used tire come from to replace it?

my used tires for spares would have one lap on them. pretty hard rule to enforce?

No tire impound has nothing to do with if you soak or not. If you think Ricky Brooks does not know how to use a duromator (sp?) you have not been watching and he is not afraid to throw people out for infractions.
I am not a fan of his tech but it is what it is.

When I ran races that required a gas purchase I usually found someone in a lower class that needed gas anyway and I would sell my mandatory 10 gallons to him/her for a reduced price. It wasn't about the price or buying it cheaper anywhere else, it was about what my engine guy wanted me to run. We had a problem many years ago and he said it was related to the gas. So I started running what he said to eliminate any questions/problems related to the gas.
