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.
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.
We have about a dozen cop cars coming into the shop so they can be painted the traditional black/white that we have in California. The rub is, they've already been painted by another shop but they painted it straight black and they're supposed to be a slight metallic black. Great use of tax payer money. Each job is $5400
Not even close to the same thing, but i sign for our fuel slips at work. Yesterdays slips Dyed diesel 28,819L regular gas 6,691L
I might just be a stupid hillbilly, but has anyone thought of asking the manufacturer to apply the appropriate color paints to the body panels as the cars are being assembled?
Same here. It was 70* and sunny yesterday. We ate dinner on the porch. The baby waved at SO many dogs. The big kid dug in the mud. And now it’s pouring slush out of the oppressively gray sky. The whiplash makes it even worse.
