About time you put up your new avatar/toy, very nice. The $ might be higher at the track but I have never liked the idea of hauling around 55-gal drums in my trailer. Tread lightly thru 17 when you go out.

Christian-I never liked the idea of the 55 gal drum either, but after, but after hitting the $75 cutoff 3 times filling up the car at Road Atlanta, I thought I'd look into bringing my own. I talked to a few guys running race gas and it seems pretty safe to fill up the car, and then carry 20-30 gallons in 5 gallon jugs. Haven't decided yet, but thinking about it.
I'll see if I can find that Sunoco online; I tried their locator for Atlanta, but it didn't work too well.
Tucker-My short time in the car in Atlanta was incredible. It's unlike anything I've ever driven. I thought that was your car; I remember it from the shop. It looks great as well!

David at Sebring no problem on the cut-off just set up an account fill up all weekend and they will close it out so no worries on the $75.00 max. I believe my winterfest bill exceeded that by a bit...........

Anyone run the 110 low lead from the airport?
My buddy Mike Martinez says he runs it in his hi compression twin-plug 3.0 all the time.
I went over picked up 10 gal (for my sport plane!) and
1) they were very nice and happy to sell it to me
2) it was half of what the race gas cost
3) my motor didn't seem to hate it

well your motor was also built at the time when gas was leaded. These new cars may not take to it too well, I really don't know for sure but I do remember that lotus burning to the ground from using leaded race gas...

Airboaters; When I bought race gas for my kart in Gainesville, there were always airboaters there buying. Someone has to sell it close to home, since we have a lot of airboats around here.
My car is supposed to run on 100; I ran into a cup driver recently who was using 93 and octane booster.....don't think I'll go that route.
The cutoff wasn't such a big deal; I think it was more the pure shock that filling my tank could theoretically cost $270!
