Question Racing fuel in NE Ohio

I was looking at places tring to find racing fuel closer to me. I have looked at Shell website and seems like the closes place for me to get 100 octane or higher is in Cleveland which is about 45 mins away from me. Does anyone know of ANYWHERE closer to Akron area to get racing fuel or know how to search for it? Would like to run a tank with the Racing maps I have from Vitesse to see a difference in power.

Oh man, the house. You're lucky you didn't stop by last week. The designer f'ed up the contract and even though they show a line item to install new drywall, he supposedly didn't actually price it that way. So work came to a screeching halt mid last week when I called and asked why the contactor was screwing around with the floor already but hadn't done anything about the walls yet. Karen and I spent the first part of Saturday over at their shop negotiating a solution to that mess. In other words it was a very good demonstration of my bad temper.

Speaking of bad temper, I may be installing the ARH struts this week some time. It might be good to watch for a chuckle.

Even better, I was thinking about posting to see if anybody wanted to head out for wings this week sometime. Karen is out of town until Friday afternoon, so Wednesday or Thursday might work for me.

Oh, and Sunoco is no better for you since the nearest is in Wickliffe or something.

Mike,

Call Summit Racing and ask them where the nearest few places are; hopefully someone there will know!

Cheers,

Tony

And THAT is why you should hire an architect.

How would that have protected us from this issue? Humans are humans whether they are architects or designers. What we should have done is verified the square footage he did price out, since he did include a bit to redo the mudroom and powder room. If we had bothered to double check that we would have seen he had not listed enough square footage and would have been able to catch it before work started.
