Practical Use of Race Gas Options

[Kazz5]

So, I've got the 93 octane tune dialed-in. Time to move to race gas. Obviously, I have to be consistent about the octane I use.

Last I knew, Turbo-blue was available across from ICC, but, for the life of me, I can't remembe what octane it is - or was. For that matter, I don't know if they're still selling it.

I'm told Winner's Circle carries it - but, again, which octane?

When I'm at Cordova or other strips, as well as road courses, which octane levels will be available?

All unleaded, yes?

Forgive the newbie and educate please. If you had a car you wanted to have a race fuel tune available for all venues, which octane would you tune for and where would you get it, dependably, in the Peoria area?

Thanks!

I would agree, a sealed can of gas should remain "fresher" longer. Especially compared to a underground tank. No off gassing and it can't absorb water or rust etc.

This is correct. I was just talking to a fuel supplier I know a couple weeks ago, and he said he keeps 55 gallon drums of race gas for up to a year with no problems and no preservatives needed. Methanol will keep much longer. Gas station tanks are vented for safety, and as such causes multiple problems including portions of the fuel evaporating, oxydation, and moisture contamination, same as keeping it in the gas tank of your car or motorcycle. As long as it's in a sealed container with as little air as possible, it should last quite a long time.
