Local quad shop should have some. The best ones do. You will have to pay drum deposit.

Go to a fuel manufacturer's website and usually they'll have a list of distributors in your area. Or try the yellow pages under "fuel".
I used to buy VP from Race Central until they raised the price to $380 a drum. Now I buy Unocal 110 competition from a local supplier for $220 delivered to your door (actually in the door of the shop and onto the blocks, lol).
You probably could ship but i'm sure shipping would cost more thena the actual fuel. A drum is like 300+lbs of explosive material. Nac's Racing says they won't ship fuel.

Do you have a local fuel distributor in your area? I just went to the Texaco distribution center and bought it. Was about $35 for 5 gal. of Unocal 110. If you buy off the internet its about 50 bucks or so because you get raped on the hazardous materials charge when they ship it to you.

how long does it last in a 55 gal drum cuz that would be my only reason not to get an 11:1 piston is if the gas will go bad.

I've never had any go bad and we've gotten it by the drum for the past 5 years or so for the race cars and quads. Just keep the cap on the container so it stays sealed and free of contamination.
