Texas Raptor Run Q&A

[treypal]

How far away is the closest gas station? After running Friday and Saturday I doubt i'll have enough fuel to run Sunday as well. I'm expecting to average 5mph on the track if lucky.

The Towne & Country in Bronte will be the closest.

15 miles from the pit.

You guys have said that there isn't a store close that has 93 tho correct? I'm trying to figure out how much extra fuel I need to bring.

I know that Bronte only has 90. Probably Sweetwater.

That would be my best bet. But if they don't its either Angelo or Abilene. Your half way between the 2.

Ballinger has an Exxon with either 91 or 93. It's a convenience store located just past the river called Tres Amigos. There is also a Shell with 91 I use when I have to stop there. I am a road contractor and have been in every little craptacular town in that county and most of Texas unfortunately. The plus side is I never get lost...

Your closest sure bet at 93 is in fact Sweetwater. I carry my SCT so I can drop back to stock tune if I need to use 87-89.

What is the recommended tire pressure for stock tires on this run?

18-20 depending on terrain.

 

[treypal]

I usually run 28-30. Personal preference. Start at one point, if its too squishy or too rough, air up or down accordingly.

I figured on setting up PSI friday during the practice runs.

Is there anyone who is going to have a air compressor so I can fill my tires back up?

 

[DubbsFaris]

Im sure there will be many with air out there.
