VP fuel for Road America etc.

[LMsports]

Got another call today about whether we will have fuel at RA or not. Please help spread the word to other racers that only fuel that is pre-ordered on our website //www.bikejam.com will be gauranteed. The rest of what we have will be first come, first serve.

[LMsports]

To ensure your fuel is reserved for the weekend all orders must be placed by April 1st. After that it will be first come, first served.

Rob, please pm me with pricing for the new StreetBlaze 100 in 5 and 15 gallon quantities. Thanks.

[LMsports]

Two more days to reserve your fuel for RA. After that it will be up to who gets to my trailer first for what is left.

[LMsports]

I'm placing the order on Monday.

[LMsports]

Our fuel order is in and we'll be providing access to approximately $50,000.00 in VP fuel for the RA weekend. Fuel purchases made through us ARE eligible for contingency and we are the only supplier that can offer that. This year contingency is available for every class that you claim as long as you buy 10 gallons of fuel for every class that you claim contingency for. So, if you want to be paid for running 4 classes during the weekend you will need to buy at least 40 gallons of fuel.

Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have.

Rob, help me out with the contingency...

If I run 3 classes on 2 days = 6 races.  Would this equate to 60 gal?!?  

What if I were to buy 10 gal and finish well enough in a couple classes.  Would I still be eligible for contingency on one class?

[LMsports]

Jeff, the answer to your question is yes. If you run a total of 6 races and your results qualify for contingency you will have had to buy a total of 60 gallons of fuel in order to be paid for each class for the weekend.

But...since I am the liason for VP contingency I will use some judgement when I submit my sales list. If I have a customer that purchases at least 30 gallons of fuel for the weekend I will ok them for all the races they run for the weekend. So we can work together on this if you know what I mean. But don't ask me to ok you for all six races if you only buy five or ten gallons. I won't bend on the rules until you buy at least 30 gallons.

I'm sure he'll put a name on the reserved stuff, but I'm talking everything.  If a can leaves, it's got a sharpie name & number on it.  

I know I'd be EXTRA careful in that situation.  

Sharpie comes off with a touch of race fuel,. I had the same problem at VIR last year. I had to haul out 80 cans empties, I sold 40 >:(
Use a paint pen, on the bottom of the can, and don't tell anyone. Then you'll find out who the jerks are that will cause tracks to tell us we can't sell fuel!

[LMsports]

Thanks man, I appreciate the suggestion. If you are planning on being up at RA stop by and pay a visit!

[BlueRidgePerformance]

I wish I could, I run a WERA National Endurance team, but used to race Midwest CCS when I lived in Chicago. Looks like you are doing a great job with VP, keep up the good work :)

[Racingxtc7]

I'll need 5-10 gallons of C12.

Jeff

P.S. I thought VP fuel only pays one class per weekend?
