Question Thrashers Corner Shell has Race Gas

That would be the Shell located at Thrashers Corner location on the Bothell-Everett Highway. Otherwise know as the intersection of 196th and Bothell-Everett Highway just before the I-405 junction if you’re coming south from Everett.

Ask the person behind the counter inside to send the pumping/car-wash dude to the race gas storage room and pump some for you. They will put any of the unleaded stuff right in your tank, I don't believe they can pump the leaded 116-octane directly into your auto tank unless it's on a trailer. If you putting it in a two-stoke spend the extra for leaded because Trick racing Gas in particular, has a bunch of additives in their unleaded which do nothing nice for the rings and piston in your two-stroke, I’m sure it’s fine for a gas guzzling Ford Big Block anyway, hell we could run paint thinner almost.

I guess I’d better give the stuff a try in the Cobra someday since the big block runs rich at an idle, and 427Aggie says race gas burns cleaner, well at least I know it will smell much better even if it is still high in Hydrocarbons.

If you need more info on the location holler.
