Alex. They didn't have any pumps when we were there in 08, it's possible that they've put some in since though.
When are you going? Take me with you, haha

Thanks Mick,

I just called them and they said that they only have 94 octane. I tried calling before I made this thread but Canada was closed until 10:30am

Hopefully for the Patroon / Ottawa BMW club Event -- July 17-19th?

I will check on the race gas. I know the Stinson only had 94 octane

Still No Race Gas available at the Track or in Calabogie. There are 2 places in Ottawa for both leaded and unleaded. I am told most of the racers using race gas for the BMW club race are bringing their own.

Let me know if you need the place in Ottawa and I will find out the name

Does Calabogie have race gas, HA!
They don't even have bathrooms, and frankly it is *almost* a stretch for the town to have electricity!

OK, I'm exagerating a bit. The track is great though, and the people are simply incredible!

Worth the trip, even if you have to BYORG.

Will,
they do have bathrooms. :wink: I was there last week and they have added some very nice buildings. Race control is very nice and they have added a 3 story building with a shop (tire, repairs etc), A/C training classroom, rental "appartments, etc. Very fency! CMP is really investing and they appear to be attracting a lot of people. The motor inn is not great but it is far better than the HOJO in Bowmanville! :lol:
