>< smirk > yupyup... High Octane after market airplane fuel, or better VP "purple juice" if we got the time to make a road trip. Gets expensive, but amazingly enough hasnt suffered a higher price like pump gas has recently. And we're little guys running gas... serious drag racers run alcohol (atleast they did in boat racing, Erik - do the amateurs run alcohol down there in TX at the local track??)

After paying $5 a gallon for 116 octane gas, the increase in "normal" gas doesn't faze me a bit :-)
