Fuel ripoff

John Warehime · 01-06-2009, 01:18 PM

I received an E-mail reply from VP, and they informed me that I have $50.00 coming. They appologized for the delay. Looks like their decal will stay.

Fast Johnny, & Paul

Be careful what you wish for ??? I am still waiting for Sunoco & afew others from the VMP race...

I think we need stop this BS & start getting paid on TIME... I wonder if NHRA & IHRA would put up with this BS if the shoe was on the other foot... Can you see them trying to chase us for bounced Checks ! ! !..... Maybe our SCRA can find a better way of all of us getting paid on time ... If your local bank did this to you every-month, how long would you put up with this ??? I can't understand what the problem is if the money is there..........................enough said, this is something we need to FIX... NOW,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Next maybe fair prices for the racers.

The manufacturer, or corporation etc., should pay us on the spot. We pay our entries up-front, and display the decals all year(or years). It's bad enough the payouts are low, but, to make us wait for a low payout is even worse.

The way they could do that is authorize IHRA or NHRA to be their verification agent at the time of the win for the decal and product.Now you have an official see the decal then you get the ring-around-the rosie treatment from the vendor with the receipt,the number and all that other happy horse****.And then after you supply all of that weeks or months later you may get the check.But this post was directed to fuel COST ripoff.Remeber the guy at Rockingham tells me the owners directed him to raise the price of fuel by 2.00 per gallon the week before the Finals.That is what frys me just plain ol pounding it into you the loyal racers because they can.That is why we need to buy fuel ahead of time and buy nothing at the track until they lower the prices.They should not get more than a dollar a gallon more than you can buy it for wholesale.

$500 a barrel ? Thats $10/gallon !! I would think someone is getting to feel a little pressure of slow sales huh ?
