Default testing waters for local nitrous sales

who gets it filled, where and how much?


i have opportunity to get a fill station, and am seeing if its going to be worthwhile to do it or not.


thinking of doing a mobile station at times, bring it to the track and such.

Pro-Line does the travelling nitrous thing, they do really well at tracks with it.
I'll buy from you, especially since I won't be going by roanoke anymore on the way to NB.
Let me know if you need any help finding a gas supplier, none of the locals carry it..

thats what i remember. i *think* that i can get from ARCET, it just takes a day or so. i had a pretty good price quote last time i called (70lb cyl)

and i will let you fill your own bottles too...since you have a fetish for that

looking to be about 3.50-4.00/lb, on par with everyone else.

Yep. We get our oxygen from Arcet. I have seen several people getting tanks filled there from time to time.

hm, arcet didn't sell nitrous a year or so when I called around about it, but I called the Lynchburg stores, the guys @ the radford store are pretty big into racing, so maybe they do.

fetish, haha yeah, once you fill your first brand new bottle you'll understand

I say go for it. We have the oppurtunity to get a filling station through holley but I don't think my company would be up for such a great cause. As far as I know proline is the only one filling tanks.

$4/lb is gonna be the rate it looks like, to stay on par with everyone else. i may do a startup promo of $3.50......

hopefully, it will be set up and running at the 4/1 street car races at NRV. i think i will be doing fridays to start, and if there is business, maybe do sat. for a little while.
