Can I race my stock 2023 Challenger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak Widebody at NHRA Tracks?

Will 100 Octane Av gas work? I run it in my 66 Coronet. I have a small airport just a few miles from work.
Don’t use AV gas in a car.

When my Hellcat was all stock my husband would mix about 5 gallons of MS109 to 93 and have me do some figure 8s to mix it up.
I have a 2015 Hellcat. His thoughts were it helped keep the surcharged engine safe.

I'm also not sure about if the Jailbreak would also have to keep around 1/2 a tank?

On my Hellcat if we keep the tank around a 1/2 because on the hard launch it will throw the gas back and then air is sucked in.......that is not a good feeling.

I ran it all year last year but it was the first year that I have done so. I never put any in my Scat Pack Widebody Challenger. 20220507_172941 (1).jpg

Scat's don't have a supercharger and everything would have been fine.
my husband added the MS109 in the summer heat. he built me prior to the Hellcats a Kenne Bell on a 440 aluminum engine, cooling was paid attention to.

I don't know a lot about the Jail break yet. But I'm sure I will see some at the track this Spring and find out what is going on.

Big e85 fan here. For street and strip cars it’s great to be able to fill up at a pump and go to the track and fill up out of a can if you want.

I certainly would not use it in that. But do what you want. Here is a simple article easy to search and find out more…

https://classicmotorsports.com/articles/fuel-facts-why-not-avgas-your-car/
It appears that the AV gas is fine for my 1966 Drag car with a non-smog 68 440. It looks like about 105 auto octane and the octane varies less which makes for more consistent runs. I have never tried it in my A12 or A13.

I only ran it in my 1966 Coronet with a 1968 440 in it. I have some VP unleaded for the Scat Pack.

I'm not sure but A/V fuel might have lead in it,I would ask.

My 2023 Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak widebody just turned into a Hellcat Jailbreak widebody. The order fell through and I went to the Dealership this morning and put in my new order. I have a VON number now and I put down some money. It looks as though I will have to make do with 717 hp.

My Redeye order was dropped and then cancelled. What should my 2023 Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak Widebody run with 315/50 or 55's x 17's?
