Default How long does race fuel last?

If I buy say a 30 gallon drum of VP-110 leaded race fuel, how long would it stay fresh? Could I put some Stabil in it to keep it fresh if necessary? I ask because I'm buying a PWC that takes 50/50 race fuel and I wanted to buy a decent amount to keep on my trailer but not have it go bad.

On another note, does anyone know how much Lonestar Raceway or HMP sells race gas for?? Nobody answers the phones over there!

HRP gets 8.25 for 110. never been to HMP and havn't been to Lonestar in years. Check with HOPs in Santa Fe.

If fuel is in a sealed container, should last a good 6 months?!.

They sell only Sunoco, right? I wanted VP instead.

So if I put it in regular gas cans, it will only last a couple of weeks? Will Stabil work??
