Even the ghost of Abe Vigoda is bored by evey single one of dirtstudent's "interesting" posts

Carry on. I'm returning to my eternal rest.

I don't know what this particur post was ... I think people just get fed up with stupid games ! He writes a post about a post he deleted ! Why not delete the topic also ?

[dirtstudent2]

Probably not a good enough answer but and answer.  

 

I'm old, I'm retired and over the last maybe 20+ years I have learned to enjoy learning about racing, asking questions about racing and writing my thoughts on the internet.  I only go to three racing sites.  Two national and this site which is local for me.

 

I've been on the web since it's inception, which is possibly before some of the abusers on this site were born.  If needed I have the writing skills from years of practice to debate and fend off most any who attack me, if I choose to do so.  I have the skills if needed to gather support from others online, even at this site.  The fact is this is our local racing site for western pa and eastern Ohio area and the way it is, is the way it is.  I can't change it and I can't change me after all these years.  I also know it's not worth my time or aggravation to reply to the attacks as I'm now doing, but I sometimes do because as I said I can't change and more importantly I enjoy writing.

 

I delete a lot of posts because I like to write and sometimes post to the site instead of deleting what I wrote.  Afterwords I have thoughts about the nature of this site and delete becomes necessary.  When I think of the abuse I'll take I usually delete what I write before posting.  

 

The post starting this thread was because of a news story sent to me via Facebook.  It was about a drug tunnel from Texas, to across the border in Mexico.  Out of curiosity reading the story I used Google Earth to see the location of the tunnel in Texas and where it might end in Mexico.

 

It became racing oriented to me when I looked across the border in street view at the Mexican end.  I was surprised to see a VP Racing Fuel distribution center in Mexico, across the street from where I suspected the tunnel ended.  Because I enjoy researching on the internet, I documented in my post the map to the VP distribution site.  I thought knowing VP Racing Fuels are imported from Mexico might be interesting to readers on this site.  But since it was a long post and fearing the abuse I'd get from it, I feared my words and deleted it.

 

I will post one thing below from the first post.  It's the Google Maps reference to the VP distribution center across the border.

 

https://www.google.c...f21dc0e!6m1!1e1

 

I hope someone other then me finds it interesting.  Though the abuse prompted this reply, knowing those who attacked me have gone through the pain of reading this, brightens my day and makes it all worth while.  My regret now is I used too few words needing to be waded through to get here.  If you would ask nicely, I'd again post for you what was deleted starting this thread.

I see VP trucks, but nothing that says VP is imported from Mexico based on this picture.  Maybe its exported from the US.    I will tell you this, as a customs broker myself, a majority of freight that goes into Mexico is trans loaded on the boarder, whether in the US or Mexico.  99.9% of shipments do not stay on the same truck between countries.

That's interesting information.  Here's the link to the western distributer of VP Fuels.  I see a Mexican connection on the link.  But then I can be reading too much into it.  I really don't see how there's enough business in Mexico to demand all those trucks.  I read it and probably wrong, the trucks shown are used to export through out the Western States.

 

Here's something else interesting or shows I'm not much good at searching the internet.  Please let me/us know if you can find out where VP fuels are produced.  There's tons out there about distributes, proclamations on how great it is and who's selling it.  But I could not find one thing on the net other then it appears it's distributed out west from Mexico because of the site I posted.  Where the heck is the stuff made and where does it come from?  Or do fancy trucks magically appear out of nowhere stocking distributes and dealers?  Somebody gets it and pays for it, but where does it come from?

Edit:  From the net VP's headquarters are north of Laredo Texas.  Again the nearby proximity to Mexico to me indicates, it's possibly even a Mexican owned company.  Lots of info about the fuel and where to buy it, but nothing on where it comes from.

BTW.......VP is now franchising C-stores with their brand!!!

 

Walt

[starboyshady]

@ Walt , they have been doing that for a few years now , but it never really caught on . I have the information about the store/gas station. Being a dealer , they want you to grow your Buissness into one of these stores ultimately , but the funds needed to build one is astronomical and profits on gas is a few cents per gallon.

I was reading the beginning of post #11 and is just me or did he sound a little like Liam Neeson from Taken..."I have a Particular set of Skills...Skills which I have a acquired over a long career."  LOL

  I really don't see how there's enough business in Mexico to demand all those trucks.

 

There's plenty of auto racing going on in Mexico, and many of those race cars require race fuel.

[starboyshady]

I was thinking the same thing , Bacon Bits ..... And that would be the ONE & ONLY point of entry . Every drop that goes to Mexico goes on these trucks in the pic..... They load from the American trailer into the Mexican trailer

[dirtstudent2]

What information do you have that VP fuel is being exported to Mexico?  I could find no information anywhere about where VP fuel is produced.  I assume because it's a mixed chemical product, it would be less costly to produce in Mexico where I assume the epa restrictions here in the States are non existent.

 

Where is VP fuel produced?

 

There's lots of information on the net about where to buy it and dealerships, but I've so far found nothing at all about where it's made.  Does anyone have a can of it they can look at to see where it's produced?  But even that's suspect because of all the miss leading labeling allowed on imported goods.

 

Where's it made?
