    Hello Sean
    Your two closest dealers are listed below We usually pick our drums up from the fuel trailer at the event and we have been paying about $750.00 this year. I have no idea what the dist. in your area charges. I hope this help you out.

    Also if you get it at a Natl event you can get it at 85%. Which saves you money. If you dont buy it at a Natl Event, it has to be shipped to you, and they only sell pure nitro, so that makes cost go up.

    made a few calls and now i'm wondering if i missed something?

    fuels for racing distributes VP at $1200/drum

    and i'm hearing that guys are paying $750/drum? from who? what brand?

    what is the scoop on the chinese stuff that schumacher was bringing in and that NHRA banned? is that World Wide Fuels? or is it Torco ProNitro? there's no listing in my yellow pages for 'Joe's We Be Nitro and Shit'

    Give Torco a call at 1-800-678-6726. They charge $742.00 per barrel plus around $150.00 shipping to the Kansas City area. Depending on the location of the buyer they may or may not have to add a yellow dye to the fuel. This is the same Nitro that many of the nitro teams in both IHRA and NHRA run.

    Ya know, you could have just looked in your favorite "Nitro Madness" Magazine that is delivered free of charge to your door. The number is right in there. LOL
