After spending a long, hot, muggy month, I mean week or so at Indy, I found myself wondering during the long ride back to Doity Joisey, how does this fuel debacle actually work... I also found myself wondering just how big is the State of Pennsyltucky anyway??
Sunoco got the deal, which screws VP dealers, which takes money out of their pockets and food off their tables, which screws long time NHRA racers still using VP, who are not even in Sunoco mandated classes, and even gets people thrown off the premises at Indy for attempting to help fellow racers who aren't even mandated to use Sunoce Fuels... WHAT??, someone got thrown off the property for selling VP to an undercover Sunoco guy who said he was a racer in need of VP fuel in a non-mandated class??.. that's a story all by itself, if you wanna get into STIRRING THE POT...
My question would be, "Isn't Lucas Oil a major, REALLY MAJOR, sponsor to NHRA??.. if that's the case, why is another oil company, or two, allowed to solicit at NHRA events, without repercussion, and even have a spot on the Midway, or what's left of the Midway.. OOPS!!.. here we go with the marketing thing again.. and if that's OK, why can't other fuel companies do the same as the other oil companies??.. why can't VP have a spot on the Midway, just like Amalie Oil does.. or share a trailer like Royal Purple does??.. OH!!, I forgot, VP doesn't have a Top Fooler wrapped in their colors, or, or, and yeah, we all know about the money thing.. UGH!!
For all that Lucas Oil does for NHRA, shouldn't there be some loyalty, or exclusivity, going back the other way from NHRA, in the same manner shown to Sunoco Race Fuels??.. knowing the class that the Lucas family has, they would probably say something like "Live, and let live".. to which I would say, in my own common sense way, EXACTLY!!!..
Now, I know someone will have a discussion with me, in the very near furture, about the oil situation being a topic of fair marketing.. to which I will probably respond, "Really??, Ass Clown, REALLY??.. or I will be told that gas and oil don't mix, so leave it alone.. or something stupid like that.. why am I always being told to leave it alone??... LMAO!!... but I think everyone can easily see my point.. take a company like Lucas Oil for granted, and they may become just like NHRA Sportsman racing in the near future.. what was the name on that car??.. COLOR ME GONE!!!.. just my opinion..
AND!!.. a special thanks goes out to my undercover VP brothers that DID help a racer in need, (NOT ME), through one quick phone call (MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME, I SAID MIGHT).. those phones really are smart.. next event we'll get you set up in a gas station near by, so some undercover wanna-be can't call NHRA to report that you're selling gas from a gas station.. maybe we'll get you set up in a Sunoco station.. IMAGINE THAT!!!
AND AND!!.. a heart-felt thanks to all of you who asked if I am OK, and where Ive been, cause you miss my posts.. Well, no one is supposed to know, but I've been busy advising a certain mop-top candidate from Nu Yawk, which is just across the Dirty Brook from Doity Joisey, to just tell it like it is, and someone will pay attention.. NOW, if I can only get him to use my styling techniques.. and you guys do realize that the best competiton to be put up, is a Professor Dave look-a-like... ROFLMFAO!!!!
