Will you have any other options locally?Wild Horse Pass is scheduled to close here in Phoenix, too.
Tucson, 100 miles away. Not tooooo far, but it's still a hike.They claim they’re looking for a new location……
I say we’re losing a yet another racing venue. We also are out of racing venues locally after this.

I'm Sad, Why don't sell it and let someone else keep it openThey claim they’re looking for a new location……

I think it’s more along the lines of they want the land. I’ve read for more stupid ass high density housing & I’ve heard Amazon.I'm Sad, Why don't sell it and let someone else keep it open
Here in So Cal the climate is temperate so the alcohol content of the E-85 at the station is pretty consistent. I know in other parts of the country where it get cold in the winter the alcohol content varies quite a bit. Typically the percentage of alcohol will decrease in winter time to aid in cold start.E85 Is not universally available here in AZ, and the alcohol content varies from about 45% up to ? So what % do you tune to? I believe our last governor wrote an edict that allows anything more than 50% to be labeled as E85. WTF?
I know a guy that carries a hydrometer in his car, and samples the fuel and adds M1 out of a 5 gallon bucket carried in the trunk. I'm not gonna do that. My car is a mountain cruiser, and that's too much hassle for me.
We can't always RELIABLY source 91 (our highest pump grade here)either.
So, I got a Razor kit, and will do what I can and stay conservative on the tune.
Turbo cars are fun here in the mountains! I've owned 2 other 87 GNs, but my all time favorite was in 1982 when I built up a 79 Pinto with a turbo'ed 2300 OHC at 20 lbs! It ran high12s on the motor BEFORE I turbo'ed it. I briefly had an old Paxton on it for a few months too, the throttle response was better than the turbo, but it would only make 9lbs. max. So, back to the turbo! I made a water injection setup with boost pressurizing the tank, and the injection nozzle was in front of the turbo inlet, so it was progressive with boost. It worked, I never hurt any parts, but I was afraid to put a bigger jet in there to really crank the boost. I thought I might hurt the compressor blades.
Ahhhhh, the old days.......
