Race fuel, especially C16, smells beautiful.

I've been toying with the idea of E85 myself, but there are very few pumps close to me. I believe the closest would be in LA (1 hour away).

But with new regulations on race gas in Street Cars (and anything that has a license plate), I don't think it will be easy to get 110 fuel at the track anymore... The people who provide the fuel for someone using race gas in a street legal vehicle are subject to fines along with the people who actually run it in their tanks. CARB is run by a bunch of bureaucratic c*cksuckers........

Old style race fuel and avgas and 110LL, all have lead (high levels of lead which is why it smells good as you get neurotoxicity) which will kill the cat fast and the O2 sensor almost as fast. The alky is great for octane but low energy density. There is no free ride.

Your wing is big enough to require a pilot's license
