Race Fuel @ TFC debacle

[L8 APEX]

I won't make this a long post just and FYI for those who attended the event. I worked pretty hard to support the TFC this year I put up $150 bucks cash for prize money, brought the trailer in case of break downs etc. I hoped fuel sales would help offset some of my expenses. I toted two drums of race fuel down there and sold a whopping 5 gallons to one person. I saw others scalping race fuel and they will be dealt with accordingly:evil . I have nearly 400 bucks a drum tied up in this stuff for the clubs benefit we need to take care of each other guys. Rant off:) .

Wow....this is really not right. I am editing my post to keep from getting more irritated by someone coming at me. So I will say this in a more mature fashion. Folks need to think a little about some of these things. Terry is attempting to make a living. He has always been more than fair with everyone here. It is hard enough for him to be competitive with some of the internet whore pricing. He really shouldn't have to add his friends to his list of competitors.

Im confused ...

Terry announced that he was bringing fuel - people stated interest and another TALON member brought fuel for sale as well ?

WTF ....

I agree that is not right! You are trying to run a business and be the nice guy, sometimes this does not work.

I would look hard at taking deposits from the members that wish you to provide fuel. No deposit "No Fuel for you", or at least you are the last in line!

I sold BC Mike a drum of 104 to get my buy in volume up. That was supposed to be for his personal use as I understood. I was expecting the HALO, Waco, Austin, and other L guys to possibly buy me out of 104. So I asked BC Mike to bring his drum and and that he was welcome to sell if/when I ran out. I guess folks would rather deal with Mike:D . No biggie though I just wanted to gripe about hauling two drums of fuel 250 miles, and paying out $150 bucks just to see my 'loyal' customers scalping fuel across the parking lot while sitting on two new drums in my trailer:tu: .

Very uncool BC...very fricking UNCOOL....:( .

First off I'm sorry for selling fuel to other TALON Brothers. When I spoke to you on the phone and the day before TFC at the shop you made it sound like you would run out for sure. I filled up my truck with 10 and sold 15 gallons. I didn't know you had two drums, the whole reason I brought my drum is cause you told me to bring it. As far as the other 3 people, we all are loyal customers of yours, and I know of me as well as one other who have spent more through you in one year than most have ever spent on their trucks. I sorry if I offended you or "stole" business from you. I will continue to support PR and continue to buy and have you install mods for me. I wish you would have discussed it on the phone or in person with me, instead of the internet.

Speaking of ranting, where is the motor that you were supposed to drop back in July? Its December now, and I have had the money to pay you for it. I have spoken with Trevor about it, he wants it out of his truck so he can sell the truck. You can call him for verification.

Sounds like just a basic misunderstanding to me.

Hey Terry, didn't people donate for trailer haulage in advance when you went to Lightningfest in case someone broke down?

Hey, this is starting to feel cozy and familiar, like F150Online or something. :)

How long does race fuel keep ? I'd consider buying a barrel to have....the Viper and truck love it. Now that I have a tranny that actually shifts I will make it to the track some.....jsut need to get tuned.

If the Z was still together that'd be fun...that little bastard loved race gas.....now it doesn't even run :throw: lol

Mike- No need to spat, I love you too much ;)
Wes- Sunoco say 8-12 months in a good climate and sealed drum. I am running a sale on existing stock, this stuff costs too much to haul all over Texas for free .

[BC Lightning]

and you love me.

We're a happy family.

I was one that bought fuel from Micheal but didn't think it would be a big deal- if not I would have bought from Terry.

Micheal was right there when I was changing out my tires and adding fuel-so I got it from him.

[03LightningRocks]

I remember something like this happening back in the day. We had two crack dealers show up at the same party....:cool: .
