Default Looking for an open track?

Topic says it all! I'm staying in the HR area. Putting on some new toys this up coming week or weekend. I want to go to a drag, T&T or what ever the week end after next. Any one know where there is one open? How to get there or feel like heading out there with me?
I'm looking to run a 13.5 13.6 @ 102 or so. Need to do it while the air is still cold!
Also can someone tell me where I can get 104 or 110 octane UNLEADED gas?
Can someone help me out here? TIA.

Why is it off road only if it’s unleaded? Can someone confirm this location for me?

I am looking for unleaded. If you use leaded it will burn up your cat. Not that I will have a cat on the car at the track but I will have a cat on the way back from the track!

they sell race gas at most tracks, why dont you try that?

gas stations around here will not sell that type of shit normally. The only place around here that sells anything near what you are talking about is amoco on Jclyde next to the love shack, and thats only cam2. 110 octane..pretty much c16 is the only thing I can thnk of with that high of an octane, and you arent going to find that around here.

Are there no performance shops around here that sell 104 or 110? They do where I'm from, but I can buy 100 at the pump where I'm from!
Well if I could find a track I would do that. That’s one of the questions in this post!
