Small but vested all the same. Our actions all those years ago have allowed you to go Club racing without following a kart down the straight and coming in with your eyes weeping and hardly being able to breathe even at Club level! Every additive that I'm aware of is dangerous to your health even at Club level!
When we researched this we used Caleb Brett which were one of the two labs used by the MSA and although the initiative was ABkC led, the MSA welcomed the solution to the problem we provided and ever since have supported control fuel in their Championships. I believe there are people at the MSA who realise the quality and value of Atol's service.
You as a Club racer need Championships to keep a tight rain on fuel cheating, because if they don't it will filter down to Club racing and the answer to that would be control fuel for everyone, which personally would prefer to aviod if possible!
Let's put this in perspective on some of the spend levels indicated in the cost of Championship racing below this fuel is about 1-2% of the budget. Admittedly those doing it on a smaller budget will find the % increase, but these are the ones that enjoy a more level playing field because of control fuel than they would have done.
I find it strange that people will spend lots on other aspects of the sport eg engine tuners, yet they don't want to spend for their children to be safer and to stop the cheats! AsI said it's been so successful stopping the cheats, few can remember the alternatives!
