As many here already know, IT runs in Group 5 at SFR-SCCA regional races.


Sunoco Challenge Driver Sponsor Program

Sounds great Tam! Nice deal. Hopefully they'll get the printer on the pumps at Laguna working so that we'll actually have receipts ...

How are the pumps at TH? You could also purchase the gas at a Sunoco station on the way too.

How are the pumps at TH?

TH is great. 2 hoses with 91 and 1 with 100, if memory serves. It's the only one of the three tracks up here that I've never had an issue with. Infineon is generally great too (with real retail pumps, not the central payment system), but one weekend the 100 octane wasn't working and it took hours to get someone there to fix it.


You could also purchase the gas at a Sunoco station on the way too.

Good luck with that. Are there any Sunoco stations in California?

EDIT: the answer to my question is no, I'm pretty sure, but of course Sunoco GT100 is sold at a handful of stations. http://www.sunocoinc.com/Site/Consumer/RaceFuels/260GT100Locations/California.htm

Thanks for the link Josh, now I know what the 100-octane fuel I've been buying from the 76 at Almaden & Foxworthy in San Jose is. :)

Now I just need to make sure that receipts from that station will be accepted for the Sunoco Challenge.
