someone needs to send that memo to the tracks here in NY.... cause the shit is still so high.... you still need to take out a loan to buy it..... :(

I get mine from a very small local gas/oils distributor. We have a bunch of racing guys in town and he keeps a couple of barrels of each of what we use. :D :D :D

thats almost $15 a gallon.... what fuel is that? :?

TheRabbit 06-02-2012 02:24 PM

It's VP N02. A nitrous fuel.
It's cheaper than the Q16 I use to run and it's also A LOT CHEAPER than C23 (about $18.00 per gal.) that most nitrous guys use.

fast75vega 06-02-2012 02:42 PM

what ya gotta do to run that stuff in a motor?

TheRabbit 06-02-2012 04:15 PM

From VP web site.

NO2™
Recommended for fogger or three-stage nitrous oxide applications with CRs up to 18:1. Higher octane and lower specific gravity than most nitrous fuels. May require enriching fuel mixture more than would be required for C16.

We have a local speed way cam 110 out of the pump (#21) .was 6.99 a few weeks ago , Was some talk about removing it but seems like its worked out for us.

fast75vega 06-03-2012 11:44 AM

it was 8.50 a gallon 2 years ago and 9.50 last year.... not even sure what it is this year cause i havent had the car out yet :(

9.75 for 100 & 110 here in Oregon. We can't pump our own gas either... so we pay gas attendant wages & some other tax too.

race gas
 
there is an allturnitive..... E-85, anything you can run 110 or less
on will run just as well on E-85, and at 3.25 a gal. why not ??
it runs cooler too ! it's the future guys !!
