It is called VP Activator. You can't buy it online due to Haz Mat restrictions, but you can find it through one of VP Racing's dealers. Here is a link to it:

I know everyone uses this stuff on the street, but how about using it at the local track?
Is this something you could spray on your tires when you're at the front of the staging lanes, then do the regular burnout to really heat it up and get it sticky? The local tracks are not always well prepped for the 'street legal days' and the officials seem to be pretty strict about people walking into the burnout area... I doubt they'd let a friend pour some random liquid on the ground right in front of the burnout box...

We use a vht/alcohol mix in a sprayer, we lay down vht through the 60ft and light it, it works best to have 2 sprayers, and a big stream to get it out of the sprayer quickly when going that far, if not the methanol will dry up. We've hooked some cars in the low 1.5s to high 1.4 60s Nothing real fast but traction normally isnt an issue.
I think I'm about to build a sprayer to go in the bed of my duallie. I'm gunna take a 5 gallon tank to use as a chemical tank, and piggyback anothr 5 gallon tank for a pressure feeder tank and build some spray bars to go under the back bumper of the truck, so when we get some races up I can just run out there with my truck and lay some vht down and light it up and leave real quick.

I've used VHT mixed with "denatured alcohol" the denatured alcohol has no water in it compared to rubbing alcohol. We have hooked cars that usually run mid to low 1.3's at the track.
We don't light it because thats asking for the cops to come out. We mix it according to the temperature outside. If its in the summertime and hot outside we mix it 70% VHT and 30% alcohol, if its cold outside we mix it 50/50. We pour it in front of the tires and do a slow burnout in it to coat the tires and count to ten, by then the VHT has dried up and then you nail it to bring it out 10-15 feet then back up in your tracks but not all the way to where you poured the puddle. Now its just a matter of hanging on.
We have been doing it this way for years without having to light it so we can stay

So I should use pure "VHT" Track Bite to do my burnout in and spray a mixture of Track bite/MEK on the starting line and set the "mixture" on fire? Is this correct? I believe I have a general idea on what to do but would someone walk me through this step by step please.
