West Coast Nationals at Las Vegas

[granatl]

Does anyone have the name & address of the place near the track the sells the VP-16 5gallon pails?

 

[Scott Atk]

tri-state petroleum
haycock petroleum

call tri-state first as they seem to never have any in stock. Haycock is now the official supplier to the track. Both are 8.00 a gallon. HTH

 

[Nick Micale]

Think the VP dist. is near the track, Len or John Gallina should know?

i talked to the vp racegas guy( scott) and he said he would be there fri night and sat. during the day. he will have c16 and asked what other octane gas we will need. scott has just taken over the vp line and supplying the track at race time. i know this will make getting race gas more user friendly. he''s a local racer and good people.

But i may have to start charging you for my F.A.S.T expertise
Thanks god for free long distance

I just spoke with LV GN (aka Len!). We're assuming that people want C-16 @ $8/gal (we think this is the price). If you want something else speak up ASAP, so he can relay the message to the gas guy.

If no one else will help you, I'll offer. But understand that because of my involvement, I need to be "first person there, and last person to leave." If needed, contact me before your flight leaves, and I'll give you my phone number. I could really use $100 worth of free race gas! (just kidding!)

 

[grw]

Thanks Jack, I still have your phone number from when we did that Joe Satch ticket deal after last years event! But....You have enough stuff going on, if I cant bum a ride with someone I'll pony up for the cab fare again! I'll see you out there. I also told Craig I owe him a few beers after he hooked me up with those comps last year. Good luck over the next week getting things ready! I am not racing so let me know if I can help with anything.

Will be "nice" for us from AZ, but the rest, they may find it rather "uncomfortable!

Maybe the Florida group will find it ok for them ?

 

[MSDGN]

Guess the ones that are uncomfortable will just have to race with the A/C on

Las Vegas this time of year is great. That is if the monsoons don't blow in. The weather there will be a break over the heat and humidity of Sac of tomatoes. Besides, hopefully the only things in Vegas that are hot are me at the Blackjack table and the women (non-professional types). Will be a good time for some R&R for sure. Mark $ $ $

Now the weather service is saying 93 degrees and 93 degrees for Friday and Saturday.

This is gettin' worserous and worserous. I may just sit in a titty bar all day. Or go up to Pahrump where it's cooler.

Fortunately, weather.com is predicting the temps to go down this week -- still a little higher than normal, but better than what it has been.
