You do mean East Central? There's 100 oct. at Circle K on Big Tree and Nova, $4.99gl. Also 104 unleaded and 114 leaded at Shell on Ridgewood and Big Tree. All in Daytona Beach. Do you live in the area?

AS champ Central Florida region SCCA 2004. ESP champ in 2005. 3rd at state championship in SM against two national drivers. My car is way under prepared for ESP let alone SM.
i don't know the specs on the classes, but i'm 100% i would be in the free-for all.
Just using it to go have some fun, nothing competitive.

What tire and brake pad do you use for chin? Once you do track events, auto-x seems like disappointment. Might try to make the sebring event in January. Is the short course any fun?

I'm from up north, where gingerman was my "home" track. 11 turn, 1.9 mile course, ran it 2-3 times in my rsx, and another few times when i got the evo, Not a bad track, but it's a short track, so it's harder on the brakes/tires.
I've never run the short track at sebring, i was actually asking many people their opinion on it when i was out there yesterday. They like it, but it's considerably harder on brakes/tires.
I ran sebring in june on stock tires/brakes, and they never really got "THAT" hot, didn't get any fade, etc, but it was a first time there, and i wasn't overly pushing it down the straights (115 or so i'd let off and point by).
Yesterday, i ran endless ccr's, with a stock replacement rotor setup (rotorpro's). And ran toyo ra-1's. The car was a completely different machine. Simply amazing. With Chin, you're a noob, and have an instructor til you're signed off. I went into today thinking they might, but no real expectations, but the car was so smooth to drive, that it made it like cake to drive.
You know the plastered smile you get after you've run a session, that was awesome, you were running down people like it was nobody's business, and everything worked great? I've still got that grin today
Sorry for the 9 mile post, but as far as mods, right now i'm setup with injen intake/fmic, original forge bov(HAS to be replaced), and 3" turboback. Running Utec on stock settings,and turned the boost down to 17 lbs yesterday just for safety margin, and still it was amazing running down everyone i did. What was more amazing was the difference in feel. I knew i had more brake power left, and tire grip, but i was hitting my points perfectly 85% of the time, and i can only credit that to more seat time, and DEFINATLY the tires/brakes.

Glad you had a good time yesterday. Not sure which pads I'll run. Tires are A032r's for the track. V710 for auto-x. Have a connection for Grand AM CUP Hoosiers, fronts off a Porsche. $200 a set. Might try once to see what kind of wear I can get.

If you're still looking for gas, there's a few local stations with 110 leaded. I've heard that the Sunoco off of Gatlin has 110 leaded, and I know for sure that the old Speedway (it's now something else) in Stuart on the corner of Old Dixie and Indian Street has CAM2 110 leaded. I used to run tankful after tankful from there and oddly enough never encountered any o2 sensor problems.
