Can't wait to try these new maps with meth once the beta is over.

Unfortunately looks like no 93 available in Vegas.
Im sure there is a station that we can find some race gas at Its Vegas, there is some 100 somewhere.

I'm pretty sure there are lots of gas stations by the track that will sell 100 octane.

There are a dozen or so (at least) gas stations with 100 octane. Look for Rebel Gas.

I wasn't doubting that race gas was available. Would rather run on pump gas, then the ET/trap are more meaningful to me as everything's the same as what I normally run on the street.

I just PM'd Jim on Mfest forum, he sure sounded like he was in. This would be his third year straight so I'm thinking he is pretty much in.

I told him to go get out on the site to start shooting the breeze with us.

And like I said, plan ahead on that one
