Are you trailering your car and bringing your own E, or are there plenty of stations down that way that have it?

It's all a moot point if I cannot find another house sitter. Worthless FKn teenagers :rolleyes:

im going to drive it. Too many fun mountain roads up that way not to drive it

I would be very very surprised if you can find pump e85 up there. e85 fuelfinder says the closest pump is 80miles away. Ill be running on either q16 or vpImport, not sure yet. I know VP will be there so they can probably hook you up with e85 if you dont want to bring it

Will she be done by the race? At least it has a back window...lol.. I actually felt really bad when that happened.

I would say we should get a race in, but you will smoke me..

This is the part I hate about using E85

I'm not familiar with those other two fuels and willing to be I could not use them without recal'ing the tune. Looking forward to a great time up there regardless of bringing my car or not!!!

its looking like my tuner is going to have 2 fresh 55 gallon drums of e85 for the weekend so im sure we can work something out

edit: hes going to fill me a drum from him local pump. 3.09 a gallon and 82% ethanol. How much do you think you will need for the weekend?

yup. she will be done for a private dragstrip rental the wednesday before the event for some shakedown passes.

Im shooting for 195+ on the new build so hopefully i can pull it off. Car should be making right around 1200 at the wheels on e85

That's what I'm doing, just don't know if I'm gonna go Saturday or Sunday. I'd go both days but I've got too much stuff to get done around the house.

With that kind of power, you should be right around that speed. I wouldn't be surprised to see 200. This event is a little smoother than carrabelle in my opinion with a much longer shut down area. The only issue is its a little higher in elevation. I'm hoping for 165 with "only" having 700hp.

I think my wife and I just decided to take the Tahoe instead. I definitely appreciate the offer.

Love the personalized plate! We may be leaving from Bluffton Friday if my daughter stays with her grand parents that weekend.

Last night my oldest just changed the weekend she wants to have her "Sweet 16" birthday party :gg: Looks like we are not going to Georgia........................

If it wasn't her 16th, I'd of told her too effin' bad, but it is special to her......

At least next time I will be able to participate. I hope a lot of good footage gets taken.

Flex fuel kit!! Sensor gets installed in the fuel line and changes the fueling and spark depending on the ratio of ethanol/gasoline

Carlrx7 09-12-2013 08:05 PM

NE one going that wants to get paid 50 bucks for meeting a vendor there and bringing back a corvette trans?

AKCobra 09-12-2013 09:16 PM

Will it fit in the trunk of my Cobra? Wait, you're all the way down by the coast huh? I'm up in Greer... I could atleast get it this far for you or meet you halfways or something if nobody else can do it.
