    Just wondering if any one has heard about alcohol sky rocketing. Some one told me it may be $10 per gallon be mid season. Truth or a stupid rumor?

    cost of racing

    VP fuel is about 5.00 a gallon. cheaper stuff=cheaper price. oil keeps going up as well. but if you have 50k in an engine and thousands more in the operation; its just a small part of the program. if it gets to 10.00 i'll water it down.:D

    Speaking of alcohol- Mark let me know when you are heading over this way again. I have a new bottle of crown royal that needs to be tested-

    Sean, I haven't seen the clutch grinder yet. I actually don't even know where it is. Some of the boat racers were bringing it from Phoenix and it still isn't here. I hope it is ok?.
    On another subject- I have contacted the local Brad Penn dealer and the dealer in Colorado about their oil by the drums. Neither has called me back and given me a price. Are they really that busy or do they not need my money? Their oil may be good but their customer service sucks- Dave Germain

    Hey Dave, I talked to the corporate Brad Penn guys at PRI, once they send it to the distributor, it's outta there hands, so I would say the distributor there has bad C.S. Maybe a call to the corp office to let them know????

    Just a thought.

    Merry Christmas
