Sorry I'm missing something here Rob, what do you mean decent pump gas?
And where are you buying $4 Av gas? Do you have to buy the fuel can every time?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
What do others have to pay for Av Gas?
Anyway who cares, now everyone has a wider range of choice and the 2T boys can now legally pre mix oil into their fuel and maybe use a dash of Acetone if they have trouble with the oil separating out.
And for those that might think to ask, no, Acetone is not an Alcohol, it is a Ketone.

erm about $2.80 I think, its been a while. Depending on how the rule is written currently & I'm too lazy to relook, but back a while it looked illegal to add oil to the mix as its an 'additive'

All well and good - rule 24.2.1 is deleted. BUT that does not help as there seems to be no follow up as to exactly what can be used..
Unless/until Appendix E is amended - or rule 10.17 is altered to put buckets in the appropriate section, there's no clear direction...
i know one GN at least which would go very well on Methanol....
10.17.1 The following classes shall be restricted to petrol having maximum
characteristics not exceeding “Avgas or Unleaded FIM” as defined in Appendix
E. Motocross, Stadium/Supercross, Miniature TT, Trials, Enduro, Cross Country,
ATV, Stockbike, Solo, All Road Race classes except those classes listed in
10.17.2 and 10.17.3. All Mini and Junior classes.
I see words in there like "all road race classes" which F4 and F5 (Miniature Road Racing) are a part of, "being restricted to petrol as defined by appendix E".
The rule book is a bit fragmented and confusing with its different sections, but it looks to me that F4 & F5 are clearly covered by the term "all road race classes" and are restricted to petrol as defined in appendix E. Its only the specific RR classes that are named that are able to use a fuel other than petrol and that fuel is defined in E too.

Actually Alex, there is already separation within MOMS between road racing and miniature road racing. With this separation (and supplementary rules to apply to miniature road racing) means that there is a hole. Don't just assume what MOMS should mean; it is as read and as written and structured...
Someone famous once said, best cheating is finding the holes in the rule book. While we can re litigate the spirt of the class vs. rules: we are governed by the rules and race GPs accordingly.

Manual of Motorsport. Or now "general competition rules"... But gCR doesn't quite have the same ring to it....

It use to arrive in hard copy... So I'm still stuck in the dark ages and showing my age.
And you always do what your Mum (Mom) tells you to do...
