Alcohol prices came way down this year compared to last year settling in under 140 dollars a barrel. GREAT news. I just ordered two.

422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

That's is great news.

I'll have to check with my supplier. Between my car and both my kids Jrs we can go through a lot in a season.

Still cheaper then race gas though.

Alcohol is a great racing fuel. Inexpensive, supports high compression ratios, and keeps the engine cool even during round robin racing. Over the last several years, I have been able to buy a $55 gallon drum in the $140-$160 range.

Didn't affect single malts apparently...


Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
