You could order from Sig - they sell Bakers AA, also Fox sells a premixed fuel with 20% castor and 10% nitro, or check to see if there is a speed shop (Cars) in your area, they usually sell Castor oil, Nitro, and Methanol, then you could mix your own at about 1/2 the price of premix.

I've got a hobby shop near me that sells some pre-mix, and if I could just doctor it up a bit, I don't think I could top the price, I bought a gal last week for $12.95. I'm not into buying drums of components, which I'm guessing you would have to do to beat the $12.95 a gal price.
I looked at going the internet/mail order route, but you need to buy a case, four gal or 12 quarts at at time. Along with the hazardious materials sur-charge on shipping, the best price I could find was around $20 a gal. As long as I can get near what I want cheep in small quanitys and then doctor it to suit, that is the way I would like to go.
I'm guessing there must be a speed shop around here. We are within a couple miles of the only beach in the state that you can drive on and you should see some of the machines that go out there and on the dunes. That along with the local college crowd and there must be a market for a speed shop. I'll have to take a look Monday.
Thanks for the input. I've still got a lot to learn and re-learn.
