Either you need some more motor.... or you may be getting pushed/towed in a lot????????????

I agree with Greg, what is that a drag car? I know mine would easily burn through 8 gallons at VIR in a 30 minute session.

Well, not that we should start a fuel mileage debate here on Dave's thread but do the math. IIRC T-Hill is about 2.5 miles long. My sessions are typically 20-25 minutes long with a minimum of 45 cars on the track. My fastest lap time is 2:04.9 and I'd have to see what the average lap times are but would bet by the time I filter through traffic each lap the average may be 2:10?(and thats being generous) Dont know right now.... but 25 minutes divided by 2:10 gives you.....hell I dont know....dont have a calculator nor time right now but lets say 10 laps which is approximately 25 miles. With 5 gallons I'm getting about 5 miles per gallon plus a couple of extra gallons in the tank.
Bottom line, after each session I'm putting one 5 gallon jug in the car.

I was just bustin your balls, I'm a little jealous. My AMX ended up with a 22 gallon cell (you can guarantee it will never have a full tank) due to the really unique shape it needed to be, it was the only off the shelf piece I could find. Most of the events Howell puts on required a cruise, some of which were really long with no fuel near by. I think you'd have to run Jerry cans like on a Jeep.LOL

Yeah ya did, lol. I thought you were humpin' on Gregs leg. :lol:

All kidding aside, I was thinking about why Weld was using so much gas and then remembered he runs with the Shelby club. I dont think they run more than 25 cars on the track at a time which gives him a wide open field and to add to that pretty sure he's spinnimng that thing close to 8 grand.
