Default VHT Trackbite banned in CALIFORNIA?!?!

So i heard from one of my friends that VHT is no longer going to be sold in California because it promotes street racing. This was confirmed with 4 speed shops/nitrous fill stations. They will also be prohibiting the shipping of VHT from outside state lines.

Oh course we had to buy 6 gallons online while they are still shipping it to California. So get it while you can. Or find a friend out of state who can ship it to you. (I have cousins in Vegas and Washington)

Thats a dumb comparison. Drinking is legal, street racing is not.

Still trying to find out if it is all of California or just L.A. County. If anyone knows a retailer or has an account with VHT, can they confirm any of this info?

Here's a suggestion: try to make your own using the MSDS as a guide.

Isopropanol (CAS 67-63-0): 60-100 %
Ingredients determined not to be hazardous: 10-30 %
Solvent naphtha (petroleum), light aliph.: (CAS 64742-89-8) 0-1 %

Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) makes up at least 60% of the product, 10-30% is an unknown and non-haz item (water maybe?). According to the MSDS, there is a "fruity alcohol fragrance", maybe the unknown substance is a food syrup of some sort. I haven't seen it in person, but I'm assuming it's a solution so the unknown would have to be slightly polar.

Anyone have access to a mass spectrometer? GC-MS?

There has to be more to the story..I would say that drag strips can still buy the stuff, otherwise there will be no more NHRA.
