Default Where to find nitro?

Hi guys,

Can any one please tell me where I can find nitro online? I mean pure nitromethane to mix with my fuel because it's really expensive here; its $30 per gallon with only 2-3% nitro. Yah I know, we run on little nitro since we do not have a real racing circuit.

I'm not in the US, so if it ships worldwide that would be great.

Thx.

Try VP Racing, they have a website, don't remember but pretty sure typing in "VP Racing" on google would work. I doubt you would be able to buy a small amount of nitro you would probably have to buy at least 30 gallons. Last time I bought nitro it was $45 per gallon but much cheaper for larger quantities. I think it was just over $1000 for 30 gallons.

you are going to have a VERY hard time finding a way to ship nitro internationally without it costing several times what a single gallon is worth. the best suggestion is find an engine that doesn't need any/much nitro. (hence, FAI is popular in europe!)

Actually $40 or so sounds very reasonable for shipping a drum across the world. Or did you mean several times the cost?

Ya thx for the posts. After searching the web I came across another site:

http://www.worldwideracingfuels.com

they said they ship anywhere. I emailed them for a request about the shipping rates. When they answer, if they do, I will post it here.
