Steve, I'm sorry... had just a few mins this morning to check the threads out and by the time I noticed this one, I didn't have time to write something. I've got a few minutes now though.

First off my debate was over the relative differences in pump fuel. I didn't really get into additives or other concoctions.

Second, control fuel's not used at club events, so the scenario you paint here could happen. There's currently no protection against it and to my knowledge, the MSA has no intention of protecting against it. I guess the reason is because they view the chances of it happening to be quite low.

Let's go a step further. Imagine a competitor in a race distributed harmful chemicals that caused me or my fellow participants breathing and/or eyesight problems, then the course of action open is :

1. Approach race control and explain the situation to them. They have a responsibility to act in the best interests and safety of everyone at the track competitors AND spectators. If they fail to act, they could be exposed to a legal action.

2. However if they did refuse to act, then you should consider calling the police. You should explain that the general public [kids, babies etc...] is being exposed to dangerous hazardous chemicals and there's a very serious health and safety issue.

Neither of the above would require an MSA protest to be exercised.

Again, if this is an issue, then the MSA ought to mandate control fuel at every sanctioned meeting.
