OK Keep in mind nothing is carved in stone yet, as I have to check availablity and prices. There is some interest in race fuel and I have a shop that is willing to let me bring gas to DW to sell. So far there seem to be two kinds of fuel that peeps are wanting, VP Ultimate 4 and VP C-12. I can only bring one drum, and maybe a few 5 gallons of a different type. What do I get? Who wants it and how much?

Right now I only know the cost of the VP c-12 (if I get a 55 gallon drum) and that is $6/gallon. I called the bike shops and they are selling it for $7-7.5 a gallon!

Will have the price for Ultimate 4 in a little bit when the guy gets back from lunch.

Haha, I'd love to try some Ult.4 but since everything race fuel related I touch refuses to run, I'll just run my premium pump swill instead of kicking and changing brass all day! :laugh:

Just bought 10 gallons of Ultimate4 and ten gallons of MR-2 yesterday. And Lou, you should give the ultimate 4 a try. I have a lot of friends that run it in their YZFs and can't say enough about how good it runs.

Haven't tried any of the VP fuels but thought about buying some before. I have been real happy running 100 octane low lead aviation fuel with maxima 927, $2.5 a gallon makes a good a alternative, just go to your local airstrip and look for the FBO - Fixed Base Operator, most have a card reader just like at the gas station. My bike runs pretty sour on 91 pump gas.

Cheers

I'd like to try some of the Ult 4. What the heck... DW only happens once a year - It'll be like christmas for the 426. I'll probally go through about 10 gallons.

Fly! You know it and I really like it when I'm ready for it. The low lead is supposed to make the motor run cooler to. Folks that are following say it has a different smell to it but that may or may not be the bike. Wish I could make this DW but too far away for me, you guys have fun and be safe.

It's a NO GO guys sorry. Ultimate 4 looked like the popular choice but isn't at the Dallas warehouse. And if I ordered it from the distribution in SA, it wouldnt' get here in time. I tried!!!!! :whiner:

Seems like there are Distributors of Phillips 66 race fuels in every town in Oklahoma. I can make some calls tomorrow and see what drum prices/availability would be on an oxygenated fuel. Don't know what they call theirs now. If there is enough interest we can make a road trip. I will rethink my packing strategy and if I can squeeze it on the trailer I will bring some Ultimate4. It doesn't look real promising. I can get 30 gallon drums for the same price and maybe I could duct tape one on each side of the trailer

TransSport will be the ONLY Gas vendor at DirtWeek, they are a paying sponsor of DirtWeek and they have already stocked up as they were told they would be the only ones there selling gas, parts etc. Blackhawk, do not bring gas to sell.
