Rick,
The address is as follows;

Clark Oil
101 W. Irving Park Rd
Bensenville, Illinois

The station is located just west of York Road. Was just there on Saturday. Racing Fuel is there although it cost $3.45 a gallon. It is also 100 octane! Luckily my car can still run on good ole premium (93 octane) |thumb| . I know my pocket wouldn't like to pay for the racing fuel since I drove over 20K mile on the 73 last year. It's tough enough paying for premium! |haha| I hope this helps. If there are any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for the address. The 110 octane stuff up here is $3.95. It's not too bad though since I only use 4-5 gallons a tankful. It's an extra $10 a tank (difference between $1.85 for 93 and $3.95 for 110), and considering the substantial performance difference I think its worth it. The major downside is that I am limited on the distance I can drive and I don't believe in putting a gas can in the car.

(for anyone else considering trying high octane fuel you won't get the full benefit unless your engine is built and tuned for it.) |thumb|

I also plan on going to the show. I will be there Saturday. That is if all goes well and the Harley I will be driving down from Ft. McCoy gets me there. Hope to see some of you there.
