Wgtn bucket racers that use Avgas

[Str8 Jacket]

Is there anyone who could help me out with either getting some or is there anyone who would be able to spare me some at the next round. I shall pay for whatever I use....
I will get myself sorted out for the next round but im too busy with work and painting my bucket at the moment.

I have a few contacts in Wellington, but you need to buy it in 200L drums.....

[Deano]

Why bother ? Just use 98 octane - bugger all difference as far as I can tell, unles you're on a highly tuned fire breathing monster that NEEDS avgas.

[Number One]

bwahahahaaaaa


oh Hels it'll take more than Avgas to go round me



Still ya though

I think it needs a blend at least... Pretty high compression on this wee beast.


I Can probably sort somthing...

[Freakshow]

There is a pump near manfield but not sure it will be worth the drive!!

[koba]

Can get it from the airport or can get high octane race gas from speedshops, some ask for a race licence which aint a prob..

Wellington Aero Club, Sat morning is a good time. No asking for race licence either.

Yeah, it has pretty high compression, that and its always been run on half 98 half octane so I would rather run it exactly how it has been. Being a temperamental 2 smoker I really dont wanna change too much and give it a reason to have a hissy fit. We all know my history with bikes, especially 2 smokers!

I know you could but you dont have the time or the transport. Still luffs ya anyway though

Cheers, plan on sorting that for the next round. I dont even have a container for it yet! :slap:

Oh yeah, ive just finished sanding and giving him a wee clean up. This bloody stupid door to door salesman came to try and sign me up to something while I was doing it, he told me that my bike was "strange" looking. I told him to get fucked and that I was busy so go away, he almost fainted. Poor old guy!

[Number One]

HA! Serves him right! Bloody deserved it - next time I want to hear about you making mormons or JWs faint when they come to visit ya



Looking forward to next weekend....when do we get a piccie? You gonna do before and after? Are colour co-ordinating your race attire?!

hmm, next weekend?!!!!....
So many questions!

I might do before and after, except now its already sanded down..... Ah well you shall see it soo enough. As for the race attire it will be very second hand. Like my bike, except the bike is going to look much better. I hope!!

[Skunk]

I get mine at the Wgtn Aero Club as Bungbung said. Mine has to run Avgas. I'm getting some on Saturday next (I hope).

What is the actual C/R? does it really need 100 octane?
(calculating static CR = swept volume (ie volume of the cylinder) plus combustion chamber volume divided by combustion chamber volume) Dont forget with a two stroke effective compression only starts after all the ports are covered by the piston so it will be a lot less than the calculated static CR
