I went to a new track yesterday, a guy was there selling race fuels- it was a new brand called "Nitro" they had some lead free 4 stroke blends and a leaded 2 stroke blend.
i wrote the details on the 2 stroke stuff, the guy told me that this stuf was blended by the same bloke that blended C12 back in the day......... apparently this stuff is virtually the same as C12.
here are the specs

now, i am no chemistry boffin or anything, but these look quite a bit different, the nitro brand is a lot less volatile, i think its similar to that F&L i tried a while back. that said, i bet this stuff is better than the C12 ive had sat in my garage for longer than i can remember! :eek:
