Well race season is pretty much over soon, but Turbo Technology Inc in Tacoma, sells VP C16, maybe they have some left over. Good luck.

Why not use AvGas 100LL. It's 115 octane, much easier to get, better quality and way cheaper too. I've been using it for 15 years in high compression NA race motors.

Just take your jugs to the local airport and put your credit card in to the pump - 24 hours a day. Last time I bought it was around $5.73 /gal.

Any place that has an "air service station". My local airport in Snohomish does and it's great when I have those "Oh ****, I need fuel to race tomorrow" moments.

The owner of Pacific Topsoil has some pretty hot cars if you guy's didn't know ?
That's probobly why they have it there, I didn't know they sold it though!
Good to know!
I live a couple miles from Harvey Field in Snohomish, I'll have to go get some one of these days! It makes the car scream!
