Just to keep everyone up to date. The fuel class for M/S is again in the
rules proposal this year. If this goes through it would include dropping the
NOS jump in GT. Gas only in GT. Also, just running fuel in a GT car will not
be enough to get you into Fuel Modified Sports, must change something on the
car to get there.

Keith - NOS is a kinda fuel, but not real fuel.
