Flame & Thunder - Fuel needed....

[anonymous-user]

Not exactly the classiest way of doing it, but due to lack of funds, in order to make it to the Flame & Thunder, I need around 20 gallons of 100% Nitro for mixing, to get me through the weekend. If any NFAA/TF/FC folks have anything I can use and then replace before the Easter Thunderball, please can you let me know.

Thanks in advance

meths is cheaper

[fester426]

Its not the cost its the availability in a small quantity,ie approx 20 gallons for cutting the percentage,as for methanol we have acces to 200 gallons but this car runs on nitro not methanol.If you have acces to some please could you help we will replace it at the thunderball,our fuel ie nitro will be here by then................bill

Is it not possible to buy a the amount you need from one of the other nitro cars ?

I assume by being skint, you mean you cant buy a barrell ?

It's been a good year despite the rain is all I'm saying on that one

[jumpingdoghouse]

I'm already involved with the car as you will see at the flame and thunder,but you can bring your £100.00 along by all means. As Bill has explained already,it's not cost, it's the ammount that is required,by the way i'll also be there with two of my own racecars aswell....Money ...mouth ,Cheque or cash will do fine.......

Cash is king JB, Time to sell some space on the race car me thinks. Attending the F&T at the Pod will see the car in front of thousands of people.
