Keith, they sell it there......but the guy there is super shady, and charges arm and leg for it. Best bet is to get it from the VP Gas Station on Euclid.....just take Euclid down to "almost" the 60 and you will see it on the left hand side.....couple blocks before the freeway. They have VP103 and 109 unleaded

I just bought 100 octane unleaded at California Speedway a few weeks ago. It was around $7 a gallon I believe. I'm sure they have it, I've never seen them without.

I'm waiting to hear from the wife if we have any other plans that I don't know about or remember. You know how that is. I've never raced or especially dragged the car but I'll give it a shot. Just got the GIAC race program (100 octane) installed a few days ago, could be interesting on the right fuel.

hey, the giac race file is actually meant to be ran on 103 octane to get the full benefit. i have ran it with 100 and it runs fine on it as well....

There is a place in Pomona that sells race fuel. Not sure about at the speedway.

I know you can buy it @ Montclair Yamaha, either by the drum or they can probably pump it right into the car. They are usually pretty cheap too.
