Post by TKnorr »

Unfortunately, racing fuel will not be available this weekend at Weatherly, so plan accordingly.

Tom,
I also called Troy today at Liberty Oil about fuel at Weatherly. The last time I spoke with him he said he would definitely be at Weatherly. Now he gave me a song and a dance about not having the fuel. Bottom line is I would not count on this guy at any of the events this season. He left us down at two events last year and now this year. Just have to find another place to get fuel. :cry:

Troy @ Liberty screwed me last weekend as well.

I had two conversations with him that he assured me he would be delivering a 55-gallon drum to my residence last Saturday morning and removing the empty drum.

He was no call, no show, no return call.

For those in the Berks county area, you can get race fuel here:
http://www.kreitzovaltrackparts.com

They sell Sunoco race fuels are awesome people to deal with.

Kreitz certainly has been around for a long time and has always been a very reliable vendor. Dale and I also found another source locally for Sunoco racing fuel:

We have not actually bought fuel from them yet but they only offered 55 gallon drums when we asked.
Thanks,
Geo.

Nice find, Geo.

I wonder if they will deliver a 55 gallon drum and, if so, how far.

J&L Speed Shop in Bechtelsville, PA sells by the gallon. Caters to the Grandview guys and are easy to deal with.

It was bad enough that there was no fuel....but that was mitigated by the up front notice....so we brought our fuel...no big deal.

HOWEVER, there was no word that the beer distributer at the bottom of pit lane was out of business. Good thing the die hards carry a few extra cases....count me in as a die hard. :P
