    I can only wonder what the hell race gas will cost these days.

    Back in my grassroots racing days, a barrel of 110 octane was about $1,200 CDN, and would pretty well last a weekend with a few test sessions and 3x20 minute races.

    I remember the last 24 hrs of Daytona we ran I signed for all the gas in one car, and it was about US $19,500 for the 24 hour race alone.

    I'm sure it hasn't gotten cheaper since then.

    Again... first world problems.

    I hit 74 mph today fueled by nothing more than a burrito. Get on my level.

    Champcar has "pump gas only" rule. I'm pretty sure everyone follows the rule, too. I feel like I could pick out a car that was running 110 by the smell, and my nose didn't detect any at Road Atlanta.
