Default Anyone want E85 in the Christiansburg area?

I began parting out my car last week and I have 2 drums of E85 in the garage that needs to be sold.

This was something I did years ago to replace race fuel and it has worked tremendously. Last time out at the track I ran 37psi normally and saw a high of 43psi. Its pretty much race fuel at the pump gas price. I figured id say something to see if anyone was thinking about running it but couldnt find it locally.

You might want to ask Darrel (boostedb20vtec I think) if he wants/needs it. I know they got a few drums from Marshall a while back for someone.

Sweet, I would have loved to run E98 from Marshall, E85 was just far cheaper, and I bought it long before Marshall began selling E98 so it didnt make sense to switch.

Darrel has been trying to sell a drum of e98 for a while so I doubt he'd want it.

Why you parting out the car Chris?

I'm not sure if Howard at ARFab wanted to continue using it, or what kind of testing he did with it. I haven't heard anything else out of him.

Ive just had the car for 10 years and am wanting to try something new. The car ran great, I just simply have taken it as far as I cared to, I ran a 6.7 with 5 degrees of ignition timing, and probably would have landed somewhere in the mid to low 6's if I wanted to spend the money this year to add the safety equipment needed to get me back into the track. This was all on the same tune, and same setup that I ran all the time in the car, I would just drive to the track, change my wheels and tires to my drag slicks, and that was it.

I'm probably looking for around 100 bucks a drum, as each of them has about 2/3 of the drum left. That price would include the drum itself which costs money.
