On April 28th, Wilson Performance held a dyno day for the Z Car Club Of Rochester. The weather was nice, in the 50′s and sunny. We put up a tent and had burgers and hots. We set up a big screen for spectators and had a spectacular time. We look forward to hosting other clubs and groups. Our facility has plenty of parking and green space for everyone to show off there rides to their friends.

VP Price increase

Rick Wilson — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:37:06 +0000

VP Racing fuels has implemented a $.50 per gallon price increase across the board. This price increase went into effect march 2, 2012. The only fuels not affected are the M1, M3, & M5 methanol products

Storing Race Fuel

admin — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:01:42 +0000

Here is the rule: “ Store in steel, transport in plastic”

Race fuels should always be stored in unlined metal containers that are clean and corrosion free on the inside. A metal can is important because air and fuel molecules cannot penetrate the steel and it blocks all light from the fuel. Plastic containers do not block light, and oxygen and portions of fuel can migrate through the plastic. A cool stable temperature is best. As temperatures rise the lightest ingredients in the race fuel begin to evaporate into the air in the empty space in the container. (These ingredients are important to the performance of the fuel). Once you begin to remove fuel from the container air enters to fill the empty space. This air contains both moisture and oxygen. Some fuels absorb moisture at high rates. This will degrade its performance, particularly fuels that contain ethanol, or methanol. All race fuels are sensitive to oxygen. When exposed to to air, chemicals in the fuel will oxidize causing further degradation of their performance.

How long does all of this take.

As a rule of thumb fuel kept in plastic should not be left more than 2-3 weeks. If you think it may be longer move it to a metal container as soon as practical.

Fuel stored in a sealed metal drum (No oxygen, moisture, or light) that is full will keep for several years.

So Remember, “ Store in steel, transport in plastic”

24Hrs is in the books

We are returning to Rochester today after a spectacular weekend of racing, sun and warm weather. On Friday the Grand Am Continental tire challenge series race was fantastic with a close finish in both GS and ST. The DP and GT races were almost as close. The DP class had 4 cars on the lead lap right up until the last 15 Minutes and finished with first and second places separated by only 5.198 seconds AFTER 24 HOURS!!! The GT Race finished with 5 cars on the lead with 2^nd and 3^rd place decided by a fender.

If you ever get the opportunity to go, it is an amazing experience. Maybe join WP next year
