I ran over 400 miles on BioWeapon this weekend at BMP and I am excited about the results! I started out control riding in B group on a cold track Saturday morning, then finally getting up to speed in Advance group just before lunch.I was turning lap after lap on my 2006 GSXR 750 in the 1:34"s in heavy traffic.
I started out sunday morning control riding in Intermediate group finally getting comfortable with the extra horsepower I got from running the WEAPON!!!
I put a new/used tire on during lunch and got back on track in Advance group. Despite being drained from a sinus cold , I was immediately in the low 1;33s despite all the traffic! By the second session after lunch, when the heavy hitters where out, I dropped my lap times to consistant 1;32.3!
Though these were not my best lap times at Barber Motorsports Park, I do feel that by using BioWeapon race fuel, I had an advantage over most riders.

Thank you BWfuel for all your help and support!!! I look forward to using more of the big bird and turning some fast laps at Road Atlanta!

Anyone other than a CR have anything to say about it? I'm sorry but it just sounds too scripted from what i've read about it so far.

I encourage you to try some. This is a fuel that can be compared to U4 and similar race fuels!See you at the next event.

Default Thoughts on Biofuel

I ran a tank through my 01 gsx-r750 and I thought that the engine seemed to spool up faster than I am accustomed. Also, thanks for the tires!

I have nothing to gain and I can honestly say that I really like the stuff.

I started the weekend on Saturday morning running some of the AMA spec Sunoco fuel I had left over from racing.

I went down and got some of the Bio fuel after Pitzer talked to me about trying it. I put in the bio fuel and ran it after lunch and it was every bit as smooth and crisp as the Sunoco I raced with all year. The power felt right on par as well.

I ran regular 93 pump gas on Sunday afternoon and it sucked by comparison. There was a bit of drop in horsepower, but the real difference was the crispness. The initial throttle response is always abrupt and mid RPM "bogging" is always an issue with pump gas. The bio fuel, like the Sunoco, fixed both of these issues nicely.

I think the bio fuel is much cheaper than the Sunoco we run at the AMA events, as well. Anybody know?

From looking at the survey, it seemed that the BW is priced cheaper than traditional race fuels (about $3 over pump gas prices)...

Thanks to BW for the free fill! Unfortunately I didn't notice any performance gains, but then again, not only was I trying to learn a new track, I'm not as in touch with my bike as Ron and co.

I use pump gas because its waist to run race fuel CRing. So to make as clean a test as I could I made sure to run the fuel nearly out of the 1k before tring the bio. At first my bike stunk. It just smelled bad. I didn't have the smoke I saw from other bikes. After my 2 sessions (I had them fill it to the top nearly 5 gal) I mixed in pump 93. I then saw the smoke like some other machines. While on the Bio I had nice clean on off throttle and was feeling a bit more crisp throttle response and that meant i was reaching peak rpm faster. I have a very well train butt dyno... No! The bike did spin up in areas it hadn't under the same conditions. Once back to pump the bike was noticeably doggish in comparison to the Bio. So much so I though I was in a gear higher.
I like not needing to drain caustic fuel. I like its an alternative to DINO. I like it was at the track. I like the perceived gains. I like it can be mixed with pump fuel mapping didn't seem to be needed.
I don't like added cost of anything. However the coast of fuel at the track isn't cheap either. I have mixed feelings on its cold weather application and storage. I also don't like the hassle of disposing of fuel containers. I think they mentioned a turn in program. Not sure.
So as a racer I would use the fuel for that purpose. As a track day enthusiast on a street bike I would use pump fuel. If your on a track only bike that has an exhaust, PC, etc and you feel you want the herky jerky throttle gone then use it. For the masses pump gas is your friend. Then again race gas isn't for the masses.
If fuel skyrockets again and this stays at the same cost I would not hesitate to use it as a street track day guy.

I used MRX01 the whole weekend (the bike is tuned for it) however if I loose 2 or 3 ponies using this fuel its a no brainier..

MRX01 $120 for 5 gallons
Bio $120ish for 15 gallons FTW

I am going to do a Pepsi challenge on a New KWS SS motor with the Bio vs MRX01.. Should be good to see the results..
