I've got a few big cans of Torco for when it gets uber hot this summer.

I was also surprised to hear about a Sunoco in town. I searched google maps and sunoco.com and got nothing.

wrxkidid 2007-05-07 07:55 PM

kevin you confuse me.
tomorrow im gonna ask micheals power sports if they can get 100+ unleaded. im pretty sure they can. ill keep you posted.

Allied washoe on 4th st, take the prater/4th st ext from I-80 and head west, they are on the south side of the road next to the railroad.

Map

$6.50 a gallon but for every 50 gals you buy you get 5 gals free. The first time you buy it ask for Sarah and tell her you want to start a race gas card.

They sell Sunoco 100 GT unleaded, they have a big tank with an electric pump out the back. They are open 7 or 8 am - 5 pm weekdays, and 8-12 saturday. They will fill a container or just put it straight into your car.

Practice your clicking technique. I once had to improve mine to view a link Tyson posted. True story.

Still no pics. High danger of me calling shenanigans at this point. Because as we all know, if you make a statemnt on the internet and don't post pics, it's not true.

cody 2007-05-07 08:26 PM

I can't even open their home page. They must have preemptively blocked me once Robby told them all how much faster my car is. :P

wrxkidid 2007-05-07 08:30 PM

yea somethin like that.

i guess your right then kevin.

cody can i get a ride-along if im in your same run-group and the spacing is ok?

cody 2007-05-07 08:31 PM

Fo shizzle but I'm still a noob.

Sorry, I forgot the :p sarcasm tag...

wrxkidid 2007-05-08 03:20 PM

well micheals power sports sells 5 gal drums of VP. both actane levels so id say 100 and 104? is that what the vp stuff is? they didnt say which they just said they sell 5 gal. drums of both vp gases. i was in 7-11 when i talked to the guy so he didnt know the price off hand.

bxracer69 2007-05-10 09:14 AM

I know the Napa in Carson sells it, there are always the little drums inside fo race gas sitting up by the counter. I would call ahead to make sure they have it though before makeing the trip.

MikeK ftw.
Though, didn't we have a thread on the semantics of whether 100octane at this elevation even helps?

Without a dyno it would be hard to say, but it was worth 55 horsepower at the wheels at sea level :devil:

It's not just the power gains as it is the safety gains. The 91 we get from CA is crap, and it varies in crappiness... sometimes it's just normal horse-piss, other times, it's like zebra urine.

Race gas has a much lower chance of being off much from the label, so there's less chance of getting a "bad" tank and boning the motor. However, running 100 in a car tuned for 91 will reduce top performance slightly. The best gas I ever used was the time Eric and I put race 92 in his STi at Laguna Seca... the car ran like a champ!

So race gas is really good for safety reasons alone, but if your car is tuned for 100... then like Mike says... it can be worth a lot in terms of performance as well.

I can buy all the 100-unleaded I want at the pump about 3/4mi from my house. It figures that I would move someplace where it's super easy to get when I no longer have any need/interest in using it. :lol:

I wonder how much would I have to have you send me for the shipping cost to be less than the west coast markup. Probably enough that we'd be violating all sorts of interstate commerce laws and would need a triple trailer rig and a driver to haul it. :lol:

AtomicLabMonkey 2007-05-10 11:52 AM

I don't know what the price is out there now, but the 100 was about $5.70/gal at the pump here a couple weeks ago. :eek: I'll stick to regular, thanks...

Or you can pay $7.50/gal at the track here. :mad:
