Default Where to buy unleaded race gas - Puget Sound area?

Anybody know where I can get 100+ octane unleaded race gas (something like a C10 or VP 100 octane) in the north Seattle area? Randy's Off Road in Marysville carries the leaded stuff, but special order unleaded runs ~ $9/gallon

I know the Shell station at Thrashers Corner has race gas. I've bought leaded there before and if memory serves they had unleaded too. They keep it in the back by the car wash area.

if you wanna make a trek out to Bremerton,
Armidillo Racing carries it, they are at the track on the weekends

and Cliffs Cycles in bremerton,
they have 106 No lead
for $7/gal
that's what I mixed for my VW (spiking 24psi / holding 21)

Thanks for the input, guys. Thrasher's Corner is do-able - I'll take a look there. Bremerton would be a big trek for me, though. I thought I was onto something with Randy's being a VP distributor, but alas no unleaded unless you special order and even then its either 5-gallon or 54-gallon special order for the no-lead, neither of which really works well for me.

Any thoughts on the Torco concentrate? I've used it in the past testing for false knock, but I'm wary of mixing since I'm not sure how consistent it'd be...

BTW, Ellis, sent you a PM on an unrelated question the other day. Let me know what you think please when you have a chance.

The land fill place on the corner of HWY 9 and marsh road carries it by the drum. I believe they also have it in 5ga barrells.

DAMN! I never knew that. I'll look around next time I go in there. I drive by the place almost every morning.

They sell 6-7 differant types of unleaded and leaded race fuels across the street from where I work at the Chevron/Union 76 distribution center in Mt. Vernon. Exit 225 can't miss it.

Not in Northern area but its close to Pacific, theres a Shell Station (*Might* be 76 my memory is abit fuzzy) in Auburn on Auburn Way, just a block or two off of 18 that has always had Diet 101 at the pump. I believe it was Trick fuel.......

Good luck!
