Race fuel in the Wilsonville to Salem area?

I'm looking for some race fuel for my 7. After talking to Ralph at GZ about fuel options/higher boost, I decided to start running race gas, or mixing my own LL100/toluene/keronsene mixture.

I know where to get the AV gas, but I woud'nt just mind picking up some VP, Sunoco, trick....whatever....I'd just not wrather mix my own fuel as of yet.

Anyways, I'm looking for fuel between Salem and Wilsonville....where does everyone/anyone get their fuel from? CJ

You know, there are a lot of mx guys that run trick fuel. Also you are fairly close the the dunes and it seems like everyone out there runs that stuff. I would try a mx store. I know of one that sells it up here in Tacoma. Worse comes to worse go talk to a bike shop and they can point you in the right direction...good luck

Now I know this will sound stupid but have you gone out to the track by your house and either asked any of the guys driving or even some of the track officials ?

They actually sell it on site, but last I checked is was quite a bit more expensive than buying it over the counter.

Its not a matter of not knowing where to get race fuel, but trying to find something closer. I do know that Ralph Friend said a 55 Gallon drum of c-16 will run me $500ish....but, I did'nt want to buy a drum for cost reasons.

I know of anouther place in Turner that sells it too....but thats kinda going a little to far for me. I'm just trying to find a more local dealer, thats all. Thanks for the input guys, CJ
