[QUOTE="84cr125flyer, post: 1029613, member: 35501"] I'm sure this has been covered before and the teams will try at almost any cost to win, but is there a tangible benefit to run higher amount of lead? If I remember correctly it was used to help reduce wear on valve seats before someone figured out how to harden them, so will lead give any increased power? I know oxygen has a major impact but lead? I figured the fuel rules were to stay in line with the FIM. Anyways, it appears the AMA cannot learn from the past and since VP provides almost all the race teams with fuel it's one step closer to NASCAR as far as a single fuel supplier can be. I took the letter from VP not as a finger pointer but from the aspect as explaining when the fuel leaves the factory they have no control over how it is managed. So, maybe this all was covered before. I agree there should be a sole source for fuel which would eliminate any perceived fuel advantage; however, fuel could still be sampled to ensure it was not tampered with. But one thing does come to mind, how were the samples pulled and were they treated as a sterile sample? Could they have been mishandled along the way from the track to the lab? It just appears to me that the 3 stooges are running the AMA and can't make up their collective minds on how to best run it...just my thoughts...take them for what they are worth. :blah: :blah: :blah: [/QUOTE]
