does anyone know where I can purchase racing fuel in the area?

I'd say Zak is your best bet for someone that would know...

AR fab, they are in winchester though. Other than that, i have no idea. Maybe TPC racing can get you some. Talk to the "racing" shops in the area, any of them should be able to get it.

World Wide racing Fuels down in New Canton sells pretty much everything.

I'm driving down near there tomorrow. If you let me know how much of what you want, I'll take a trip over there and bring it back.

Here is the service charge schedule.
1-5 Gal. = 1 beer
6-15 Gal. = 2 beers
16-45 Gal. = 6-pack
each 55 Gal. = 1 gallon of Shenendoah Brewery Stonyman Oatmeal Stout.

it seem's like they only sell in >30 gallon drums. I was looking for somethign more along the lines of VP C16. They don't seem to sell anything other than sunoco. also, i'd like something closer to 5 gallons

I just had a vision of a 30 gallon drum of race fuel sitting on my back deck. imagine trying to explain THAT to the maintenance guy!

Sonoco Red gives you 116 octane, just a point or two off from c16. They sell that in a 15 Gal. drum

Speed unlimited sells torco 107 octane UNLEADED for $40/5 gal. Torco also sells a concentrate that turns 5 gal of 93 into 107 (i got a can of that as well).

I posted this before, but I figued it was worth doing it again.
Here is a link for torco race gas concentrate:
http://www.need4speedpower.com/torco.html

I will sum-up as best I can:
Treatment Ratio with 32ozs of Accelerator

-97 Minimum Octane Race Fuel treat 20 Gallons of 93 octane minimum gasoline

-104 Minimum Octane Race Fuel treat 10 gallons of 93 octane minimum gasoline

-107 Minimum Octane Race Fuel treat 5 gallons of 93 octane minimum gasoline

-$85 for 6 cans = $14 a can

They have a WRX dyno chart from Axis Automotive's Dyno Dynamics (a fairly low reading dyno) that shows gains of 13 whp and about 16 ftlbs. just by adding 32 oz. That adds up to almost $1 per whp.

That is much cheaper than the $26 I paid for the bottle. If anyone wants to split a 6 pack with me, let me know!

hmmm daily driver with more whp.... hmm I'll have to think about this.

I'm sure it would work wonders in the 944 too

Your 944 might need more than just some extra juice in the tank. ever figure out what the problem was?

I'm actually going to the dyno tomorrow with a completely stock talon. maybe i'll do a 93 octane pull and a pull with the additive

I'd be up for going in with you. Let me know how you want to work it.

You could always buy the 6 pack and sell the individual bottles at the meets for a little profit.

Post by **Sabre** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 12:34 pm

Or sell me a bottle or two for track days

drwrx, where are you located?

I'm in McLean.

Hold on a minute, are you sure that is legal 'round these parts? You might have to take this business proposal up with the president. Oh yah, he is the president...

out in Mclean

Zak's right, we should apply for vendor status.
I was expecting Jason or Julian to speak-up here.
But remember, we're not holding autocross course.

Ya, I'm sorry, you'll need vendor status to seel around these parts. Vendor status is $1000/mo if you want to sell products on our boards and $1200/mo if you're making a profit...

Yes, we're kidding... This stems from some issues we had over at NABISCO.

Yeah, would be fine if we called it a performance driving class and didn't give any accounting as to where the $xxx was going ( and then charge an undisclosed $20 extra for event entry, plus require you to have your own insurance coverage).

OK, I'll shut up now.

gsx-lex; your rationality and common sense are appreciated here.

I love this place...
