Race Fuel @ Hallsville

[L8 APEX]

I am trying to gauge the best course of action. I can pick up a fresh drum 54gal for the event. I am not sure what they have at the track or how much it is. I am going to be under the gun for the Hallsville trip. My brother is graduating UT Friday night in Austin so I will be driving a lot. The fuel is here and it is up $.50 cents from three months ago.. $6 a gal. $20 for a clear 5 gal race cans.

They sell race fuel at the track BUT be careful

Last time we went we told them we were coming and requested unleaded and told them how much we would need and we were stuck

They had like 8 gallons of unleaded and a bunch of leaded

I would buy it from Terry before you go

Ditto-screwed last year. I had to run my street program. Get it from Terry while you can:tu:

[SpeedyBolt]

How much is fuel running these days? :D

[BC Lightning]

Put me down for 10 gallons as well Terry, I'll hold you gas can hostage till we meet again :evil

Also, will you have time to install the upper ported plenium, Metco lower trak links, M20 Blinders, Interchangable upper pulley, and the SCT Mass air the week after thanksgiving?

[sonicbluetommy]

You can put me down for 5gal. Also sent you a pm.

[True Blue Aggie]

Can someone post why you would need race fuel for your tunes / trucks? My truck is setup to run on 93 oct., but I am interested in knowing what I might need to do to get it to run on race fuel.

[sonicbluetommy]

Higher octane allows you to run more timing (=more hp) safely.

And if you have a race tune with more timing you run it at the track with the higher octane (SCT holds 4 tunes--stock, cold weather, warm, race) (thanks to Terry!)

I hope you bastards buy a lot of fuel. I ordered two more drums so I will have over 100 gallons out there or 10 gal for 10 trucks. I figured other L clubs may need some as well. It is still the same price of 6 bucks a gallon. I can get clear fuel jugs for 20 a piece.

You bringing out the drums or gas cans? I have a 5 gallon container, but don't know if I'm going to be able to get down to the shop before the event (plus, I'm looking for 10 gallons). It would be best for me if you brought it, but I'll work it as you need it.

Terry, If you need someone to haul one or both of those, let me know. You all know my truck can carry alot of weight and the bed will never be pristine (it is a work truck!). 2 drums of fuel would be nothin!

[L8 APEX]

I will probably bring three drums and a few cans to transfer it with.

Kool Aid! :tu:

[SpeedyBolt]

I will probably need 5-10 gallons as well! Can't wait to try the new race tune!

We may need to get a "dibs" list started!

[L8 APEX]

I got a call from the distributor the fuel should be here tomorrow. Unfortunately it has gone up 20 bucks a drum. $6 a gal for this batch. That will help limit my burden of transporting it across Texas:tu:

[00Bolt]

aight... 10 for me!!!

[tliss]

Terry,

Just want to make sure you have 10 gallons of 104 with my name on it for tomorrow. If my calculations are right, I should be rolling into Hallsville with the light on, so I need to be sure I've got some fuel waiting for me when I get there.

Lemme know!

Tom

[00Bolt]

ya Terry, I need to know the exact same thing.... otherwise I need to get some and take with me......

[L8 APEX]

I have two unopened drums which is 108 gallons. That should suffice.

:tu: Just wanted to be sure. You can service 10 trucks at 10 gallons each. I just want to be sure I'm one of those 10.

[00Bolt]

ya i think there will be more than 10 guys out there wanting gas....

[Nuhklz]

I'll rely on Bubba's burgers

[L8 APEX]

ya i think there will be more than 10 guys out there wanting gas....Most guys only buy 5.

[00Bolt]

I just did the math and if I get to the track with my light on, thats 5 gallons of 93... it would take 10gallons of 104 to = 100octane right???

[L8 APEX]

I thanks those who shared jugs and funnels to distribute the race fuel. I only emptied one drum though despite your concerns about not having enough. Sold @ 60 gallons out of 108 so there is plenty left for those who need some locally for racing and dyno testing race tunes.:tu:

[StormShadow]

I owe you for 60 gallons. will probaby be picking up another 5-10 this week

[L8 APEX]

I owe you for 60 gallons. will probaby be picking up another 5-10 this weekAwesome! That will be $360 bucks a whole drum plus you are the manknana . I still have a bit of cash tied up in the left over fuel.

[StormShadow]

dammit thats not what I meant! LOL. I meant I owe you for 10 gallons or $60. :hammer:
