VP Racing
VP Racing Fuels is a leading producer of racing fuel and high-performance lubricants. The company has a long and storied history, dating back to 1975, when it was founded by Steve Burns in San Antonio, Texas.
At the time, Burns was a young chemist who had just graduated from Texas A&M University. He was passionate about racing and had a deep understanding of the chemistry behind high-performance fuels. He believed that he could create a fuel that would outperform anything else on the market.
Burns started by developing a fuel for his own race car, which he called C-12. He soon realized that other racers were interested in using his fuel, and he began selling it to them. As demand grew, Burns founded VP Racing Fuels, with the goal of producing the best racing fuel in the world.
Over the years, VP Racing Fuels has continued to innovate and push the boundaries of performance fuels. In 1985, the company introduced its first oxygenated racing fuel, which was designed to improve engine performance by increasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion.
In the 1990s, VP Racing Fuels introduced its popular C-16 fuel, which was specially formulated for high-compression engines. The company also expanded its product line to include high-performance lubricants and other racing products.
In the 2000s, VP Racing Fuels continued to innovate, introducing a number of new fuels and lubricants designed for specific racing applications. In 2010, the company opened a state-of-the-art research and development facility in Texas, where it continues to develop new and innovative products.
Today, VP Racing Fuels is a major player in the racing industry, supplying fuels to top-level racing series around the world, including NASCAR, NHRA, and the FIA World Rally Championship.
