Is there any gas stations near the track? Like a BP or someone who sells 91+ octane. And is it 24 hour pay @ the pump?

Tray there are two stations at the 175# exit! A BP and Shell.They are both 24 hr. Also a Phillips and a BP in Montgomery City.Not sure on the hours of operation!Don't think they are 24hr.

One of the best things that you will notice and like about the gas stations near the track is that they are consistently 10-20 cents a gallon cheaper than ones in st charles area. So fill up out there and save a little cash and support the local businesses that have been supporting the track and our efforts to bring it there!

Buying gasoline to race on from a pump is not a good Idea.
Gasoline that has been exposed to the atmosphere begins to detrioate very quickly and in a matter of days will loose a lot of its octanerating.
It is best to use fuel that has been stored in sealed steel containers at 70 degrees.
If you want to run consistantly the same this is the only way to do this.
I know because I was the Fuel Analysist for NHRA for years and ran Gas Chromatograph analysis of gasoline for them.

My car is tuned for 91 ......I guess if I could find sealed 91-93 octane it would be fine.....definitely good information! Just went this route so I can drive it and it not cost me like race fuel does.
