You can get race gas at Sunshine drag strip during test and tune, BMP during test and tune or Wayne's Corner(Spur Gas station) over in Clearwater. I know Wayne's Corner has 100 octane.

Extreme Motorsports on 66th (north of park blvd) has 76 race gas (not sure of the octane levels, but I believe they have 116). Also, the same shop that sells it @ Sunshine(their name is escaping me at the moment) has their own shop on 66th (south of park blvd. next to sherman williams store) and I believe carries 116 if not 114. I think they carry Sunoco, but not positive.
I just wish someone would start carrying VP....

If you've ever been to Street Heat, it's in that general area. Actually south of SH.... a mile or two.

I would be suprised if you're paying 3.99 for 116 octane.. if so i'd be carefull as to the quality of the fuel...
also, be careful of those who store the fuel in large steel tanks. You should see some of the stuff I pulled out of my motor when we drained the fuel system.. Water mixed in (condensation), made a real mess of my EGT readings and the plugs.....
picked up a special funnel that will catch water and let the fuel pass through....
it's helped out a couple of times....

oh and the other place on 66th is HoleShot Engineering..
