Got the sign off from Goose Pond for us to bring race gas. They have a wagon to take it down to the dock. No running on fumes on the way back this year!
Run them like you want!

cheap stuff is good for me
Thanks for hooking us up on the fuel. A tanker filling us up would have been a pretty cool sight if we needed a lot more

Thanks Hedge. Ran it a little close to the E-mark last year...
I'm going to need a tractor trailer full of Nitro Oxide to keep up with all the sandbaggers that will be there !!!!![]()

the Friday run is about 109-110 miles roundtrip if I remember right....
so if you can get 1.5+ mpg without too much frogginess you'll be golden
the Sat run is about 68-70 miles roundtrip unless we go to the dam, which I want to go at least that far... so with 100 gal you have MORE than enough for frogginess

The greatest risk is not taking one.
Last year to Goose Pond on Friday was gorgeous, but we ran 40-45 the whole way to conserve fuel, and I almost ran out any way. Goose Pond does not have premium.
So, this year our illustrious host has made arrangements for a little high octane for blending. Anything for the fussy, high octane guys, I say. And what a host, he is.
Frankly, I do want to get a little froggy and worrying all day about range takes some of the fun out of it, so I think this will work.
Quick question for Hedge, does Goose Pond carry 89? Even with 87, I should be good with 10 gallons, which leaves plenty for the big gulp guys.

a note about Goose Pond.... if you need to get to the fuel docks DO NOT go under the walk bridge to get to the marina fuel dock, go all the way around the point...
Inferno will confirm that
also, on the T dock we tie up at, the south or west side has a shallow entry/exit, I can confirm that..
