Default Fuel at COTA

Does anyone know what fuel is available at the track?

Thanks.

I don't know Mark.

Be polite, GFY.

See you in a few weeks.

I'm pretty sure it's some kind of race fuel. Can't remember what exactly, though.

There's also several gas stations on 812--one right outside (that tends to run out of gas at big events), a big new one to the east ~7 minutes or so and one at 183 + 812 to the west.

Mark, they currently have a 2,000 gallon tank of 93. The have uunderground tanks for 98 and 110, but are awaiting state approval to begin dispensing & selling from them. They assure us it will be good to go by next week. Fingers crossed.

If they're awaiting a delivery certificate, good luck with the TCEQ. I can't tell from the database, as it was last updated Feb 1.

I hate to say this, but were I racing, I'd try to find racing fuel somewhere else.

The track owners have serious juice with the gooberment. Chances are good they will drive 40 minutes into town & walk it through...

Word.

At the F1 race, there was a hiccup with transport to the parking spots off site when everybody gang rushed to get out for the day.

Next day, in addition to the Fri-Sat bus services they already had, there were 50 or more yellow county school buses running shuttle too.

Only Rick Perry could have probably made that call and he was already at the track for the opening dedication.

See y'all there, son's racing, I'm wrenching...

If you spill one drop of fuel onto the ground at the COTA gas pumps, it is an automatic DQ. Zero tolerance.

Sorry... Couldn't resist...

Just bring the money by my garage. All proceeds will go to a good cause. It's for the kids...

Gah--I forgot about the dribbly fines. If I brought the 944, I'd have to make it a giant engine-diaper.

The link states outside fuel is acceptable in 5 gallon containers.
Let's see... 2 thirsty GT cars, 3 days- how many 5 gal containers of 110 leaded would that be?
