Default Re: Fuel ripoff

I sell Rockett Brand and have never had a problem with fuel check. It's a hell of alot cheaper than VP and makes more power on the dyno. All of my customers love it and it is very consistent. Hey Bryan...call me, I might have a deal for you...443-207-2961.

My original post was not about performance it was about bending us over the fence because they can by gouging on fuel prices..I just think we are getting screwed.The idea of a track raising a price 2.00 per gallon from an already high price just to nip the sportsmen racers who are traveling in some cases hundreds of miles to get to a track just says to me screw you racer you are dog ****.We can make a difference there is strength in numbers.Call ahead find out what they are going to charge if it is over 8.00 per gallon dont buy it there bring your own.

If they can't make money off the spectators, they think they have to make it off the racers!! If it wasn't for us, there would be no race tracks!! If everyone would get fuel from a dealer, maybe they would get the hint! But, as long as they are selling it, they will keep the price up!!

I was recently quoted $685.00 + tax and delivery for a 54 gallon drum of C-11. That is more than $12.00 per gallon delivered. I thought I could save a little money by purchasing gas this way. Also C-11 is not always available at the track. Then I have to drain the fuel cell and use a different fuel. I guess I am still better off buying fuel in smaller quantities at the events that have C-11.

Mike, thats the main reason I have been looking at the Rockett, from Tracy Robbins. His 111 was a lot cheaper. The ones I have talked to, said there was no difference between the 2. I want to get some and try it my self, first, before committing to buying a barrel.

Mike, how long before you run out? And, will it still pass check? Just curious

BTW I bought VP-110 at PBIR for $9 a gal. last month, $11 per gal for C-12 in Lakeland back in June.

Thumbs up Re: Fuel ripoff

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.

Cool Re: Fuel ripoff

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,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
