High octane in STL area?
Anyone know where we can source 100 or 104 unleaded octane besides @ Gateway?
I'd like to find somewhere to grab like 5 gals and take it to various track events. If I can get around paying $6-7 a gallon that would be great!

check these guys out.....Methanol they priced my was $100.00 more than I could buy it from my usual supplier (out of town), so they might be high on price.
Sieveking (sp) fuels off of old gravois rd may still sell racing fuels, but it has been years since I purchased from them.
Possibly any of the local speed shops????

I can;t think of anything off the top of my head right now, but I'll be over at Gateway, mostlikely, on Sat. and I'll ask around for ya on the unleaded.
Yep, steeeeep. I was willing to give a local my business on Methanol, since we buy 15-20 55gal barrels a year at about $199.00 for the 99.99999% pure stuff, and they quoted me $294.00 a barrel.....uhh, pass.

There is a BP gas station out here in the Washington, Mo that sells racing fuel from a regular pump island.
I believe it is Turbo Blue and selling from a pump island, most likely would be unleaded.
There are a couple of phone #'s that may be able to tell you locals of stations that sell it.
The BP in Wash. is at 5th street and hyw. 47. Last time I looked it was about $6 or 7 a gallon.

Btw, the gas station just across from Gateway no longer sells 93 octane! I think it's a Pilot. There's a Phillips 66 just S of the interstate, but I don't think that chain carries 93. So, looks like the closest 93 would be into East STL by the metrolink.

Different groups put on events. Local car clubs such as Audi, PCA, BMW all have DE dates out there, usually twice a year for each. Other groups like the SCCA started this year. Redline put on a Time Attack and DE for the first time this year too. Phil Wicks has come in a few years.
Best bet is to shop around the various forums and keep you ears open. Or to know someone that runs out there (I do). Or if someone is cool enough to put together a listing of dates, then that's super cool. Check the sticky at the top of the Midwest section......someone here is pretty cool.
You can sign up for any DE with like the PCA or BMW groups for example and be a total and complete novice and be just fine. Just need a car in working order, clean brake fluid and a helmet. An open mind and some skill helps out too!
