Yes. Any of your local VP dealers can get it for you. If you live in an area where there are a lot of domestic drag racers then you should be able to get it from those shops as well.

I had bought a 5 gal drum for about $25.00 around my town. Here is a link to VP to where you can see if you find a local shop that supplies VP products.

wow.... i don't know how amazed i am....

so why is race gas gay and methonol cool?

now back to my point about how if you are buying a drum anyway....

methonol lasts longer huh? it's not a pain in the *** that you have to fill up more often than when you fill up with gasonline... and it's not a pain in the *** to fill up two things instead of one

I think it's because you burn race gas all the time, meth while being injected, is only used in high boost.

With my car 5 gallons of methanol last about three tanks fulls of gas, i pay 18/5 gallon of methanol. Race gas is what 27-28/ 5 gallons. RAce gas you have to drain your tank then put the race gas in and vise versa, with methanol its always there, your always running full potential when you want it.

You can usually get methanol at local chemical stores, its used for more then just cars.

MEthanol owns race gas!
