[F500] fuel?

[Chuck McAbee]

Back in the days when I was racing the Kawasaki I used the tracks leaded
race fuel, nominally 104 octane.  At that time most everyone else was also
using the leaded race fuel.  Several guys showed up running unleaded pump
fuel and would generally end up sticking a piston.  I suspect the higher
ambient temperatures that we race in causes the engines to raise the octane
needs.  For the short duration of Autocross use, the use of pump fuel
should present no problems.
