Interesting to see that you are from Castalia. I was just there on Monday and Tuesday. The company that I work for has a corporate meeting place there. I would call Fremont speedway and see if they will sell you any race gas there. I think that would be closer than going to Norwalk. There may also be some gas stations near the track that sell race gas. I would call around to see if anyone has it for sale.

with a 11 to 1 piston you dont need any thing higher than 100 octane any thing higher will actuly cost you power.....my 450ex runs best on on 93 octane...my 2 cents

I agree....Your compression will not be high enough to bother with race fuel... Stick with 93 octane...you will be fine.
