Default C16 Local?

Anywhere to pick this up in the Seattle area? Does Turbo Tech have any?

Looking for at least 5 gallons of VP C16.

Thanks!

Will gave them a call and they're selling 55 gallons for $596 ~= $10.83/gallon which isn't bad but too large quantity for the moment.

I always got mine at Randys Off Road. With the season winding down they may not have any though.

There is a place right on HWY 9 and Seattle hill Rd in Snohomish. Cant remember the name but its a topsoil place across from the pumpkin patch. You would have no idea they have tons of race fuel there until you go into the office.

That was mentioned on the phone. Will went down there to pickup their last 5 gallon drum and spoke to the owner who alluded to the fact he may still be able to order in some and beat local prices.

So that's good news. Owner has two 8 second cars evidently.
