Race fuel junkies and huffers step inside...
There is a thread in the Camaro5 Fest section from Mr Jeff Conley, Operations Manager for Lucas Oil Raceway...
In it, I asked about available fuels and other items our cars might need and his response is in the following thread... Pop in to check and see if what you need is available or not... Could save you some heartache or last minute tuning for different octanes... The fuels they sell are available in five gallon buckets... so bring along a funnel if you have room... If not, there will probably be others with one you can borrow... I'll have one for example. The one thing mentioned is that they do not fill nitrous cylinders at the track facilities... I'm going to look around and see if there are any shops in the area that do so... http://camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=232933 I know there are some Nasty cars popping up around here and you guys may be tuning for a particular fuel... Hope this helps

Now I just need to find a couple of shops in the area that can fill a Nitrous bottle occasionally as needed...
I'm going to have two of them, but at this point I'm not sure how much I'll need over the course of the weekend...

Wow, that was fast. When I hear back from Mike I'll add any additional ones he has.

If he is a friend and willing to do so, I'll just wait until I'm up there and have him fill them for me... I can stop there on the way into Indy, and miss the Rush at the counter to check in when two hundred cars and five hundred people roll in there together from Texas, and the entire South East...

He doesn't sale N20, but it looks like you have that covered. I just added him to the list because the link you provided didn't mention Shell URT and I know some people are particular about things like that. He did say he could bring a drum to the track if we had people interested.

Thanks for the info however I will have two tanks with me and I think that will be enough to keep the crown.

You are going to need two tanks, because it will take a 300 shot to keep up with me!
