VP Racing Fuels was founded by Steve Burns, who initially exhibited his aptitude for R&D in 'the early 1970’s as a young racer in San Antonio, Texas. Self-taught in chemistry and physics, Steve was convinced the race fuel manufacturers of the day were falling short in their quest for optimum horsepower. To address this shortcoming, he began experimenting with exotic blends of fuel, much to the dis
may of his parents whose garage served as Steve’s laboratory. VP is now recognized by many as the world leader in race fuel technology, with a catalog of nearly 70 fuel blends and a growing roster of VP-fueled champions across the entire spectrum of motorsports. VP’s reputation for product quality, along with superior service and technical support, helped secure its position as the Official Racing Fuel of the largest racing sanctioning body in the world–NHRA Championship Drag Racing–as well as sponsor of more than 50 other series and sanctioning bodies, including American Drag Racing League (ADRL), American LeMans, AMA Flat Track, Atlantic Championship, International Hot Road Association(IHRA), Star Mazda, UMP DIRTcar, World of Outlaws Sprint Cars and World of Outlaws Late Models among many others. The passion and dedication of VP’s development team to staying on the leading edge of technology is legendary. Most of VP’s employees are or have been racers in one form or another and are driven by the competitive will to win. Together, the VP team intends to solidify its position as the true World Leader in Race Fuel Technology for years to come.”
