I dont understand why there is two fuels with such an octane difference. Why not just the 91? Who does this help? If you have to buy certain fuel from certain people then rush should be required to have a truck or pump at every sanction track at their cost. Next you will only be allowed to race a certain chassis. I find this ridiculous.

And now you find out that you cant sell it to racers unless you are an approved "rush" dealer? It would have been nice if they would have said that originally.

If you can get the correct fuel with the marker in it, no one will know, nor can they stop you.

Don't rat yourself out!!

 

How will they know where anyone bought their fuel?

Is there going to be an audit and database on purchase, consumption, etc?

Something don't add up.

Here is an idea, contact Rush to see how to be a dealer!

Oh and those who run Rush and don't like, try running a super on the same budget and come back and tell me how bad the deal is.

RUSH is a cost control class, get over it. You jackwads who think its a bad deal, GET OUT. Try running a super on a crate engine budget. Good Luck.

 

As for the touring series, show me ONE, just ONE super series run as well. ULMS you kidding me! UFO is trying,

[Paul55]

That was copied from the "rules".... Lol . Also You got 2 weeks to burn that 55 gallons up , if not you will be eating it ...... My guess is you'll have about 30 gallons left over . I hope you are hungry 😂

We have about 55 gallons of the old crate fuel from last year left. It is worthless to us now won't run it in the newly redone carburetors we just got back. That's the shit that really sucks about them changing shit when they feel they need to make themselves more money. I also agree with Parocket also.

My point is why should you have to "ask" to be able to sell something ? It is the moral of this story . I will never be under someone's thumb , never was & never will be ...... I will never beg anyone for anything . Here is a little life lesson , Children , if someone "gave" or "allowed" you to have or do something , they can also "take" that away from you ! If you do it on your own ........ Guess what , it's yours forever and no one can ever take it from you !!!!! And pa rocket , if I wanted a Super late , I would have one ...... Trust me . 😉 Oh..... Wait ...... I DID HAVE ONE !!!!

[starboyshady]

..the whole thing about selling the fuel was always about saving some time . I had my people buying it from me & it saved them at least 2 hrs driving to go get it . I never made any "profit" from this . You see no matter how much money you have or make , the ONE thing you can not buy is TIME & I think that is why I get so pissed off .... So ,on that note , my Rant is over .

[Parocket]

Odd, I got the same email and never seen the word "authorized" used. I bought my crate fuel the same way out of a guys garage and it was a time saving, heck it was cheaper than the good Sunoco stuff. I get what your saying but I don't get why you don't relay what ever conversation you had with that is stopping you from getting the list. The way I read it not every is going to carry RUSH fuel, here is where you can buy it. I can understand a series working to deal with solid companies that support the series. Honestly, they would likely handle it better than this and I frankly would tell you to beat it now.

 

The last line of the letter had the Rush office number for concerns or questions. Its 724-964-9300.

 

Honestly if you have a crate car I don't know how you can be so bitter about the series. I ran the series for 3 years and while there was stuff I did not agree with I could see where it was coming from; be it saving the team money or putting money into the series and those who run the series.  Again, show me a better series for weekly and touring.

+1, instead of stirring up drama on good old racestud, take your complaints to the source. This is the same guy who last year came on here and started the drama when Miley screwed everyone out of 100 dollars at the Pittsburgher. He has valid points but nobody takes this forum seriously anyways. You would be best served going to the source, not appealing to the idiots on here.

The RUSH 91 fuel will only be available at the dealers listed below, and may be adjusted from time to time. Competitors may only purchase RUSH 91 in a 55-gallon sealed drum. RUSH 91 will not be distributed in bulk and/or 5 gallon pails.

[starboyshady]

I wouldn't really call it "Drama" , lets just say I was making things known , & some didn't even know they got beat for a hundred bucks ..... But that hundred is nothing compared to the 3000 gallons of this garbage I ALMOST bought .... You see THAT is why I'm pissed off , WTF would I have did with 3000 gallons of fuel that I am not "allowed" to sell ? F- it , I look at it now and it's stupid to tie up that kind of money for a few pennies profit . I got better things to do with my time & money . So , maybe this was a blessing & saving me alot of B.S, for hardly anything in return

[jms22]

There seems to be a lot of inconsistencies with the fuel deal, it says no 5 gallon cans, however Precise is selling 5 gallon cans...although it's not cheap. Also if my math is correct, $225 divided by 54 gallons does not come out to the price per gallon that was originally stated.

[starboyshady]

62 dollars more a drum or 1.16 a gallon ..... But just ask these guys on here , they'll tell you .... Just eat it up 😜. It's all Good , they read the E-mail ...... Didn't understand what it meant or actually says , but they say its all good , so it must be A - OK

[jo73]

This truly is a great series for the guys that can't afford the SLM anymore. But, the people behind this series are definitely starting to go overboard. It is becoming obvious that they want to control all major profit items involved in crate racing. They have back door deals with the motors. Tires, and know fuel. I believe they have there hands in the shock deal also. Maybe next it will be a fixed gear rear, or maybe a spec tranny. O and by the way, purchased from people we select.

[BUTTBEAK]

........Dare I mention there is a new tire compound

REASONS FOR SUNOCO 110/PURPLE SPEC RACE FUEL
Holds overall costs down for race teams.
o Sunoco Standard 110 is one of the most popular fuels in the market. Average cost of is less than half the cost of some of the exotic fuels being used by some teams.
o Because it is such a common fuel there will be no gouging or manipulating the price of the fuel to take advantage of the racers that have to run it.
Easy to tech. No oxygenate. Very simple straight forward fuel which is easy to tune the engine to. o Sunoco recommends a combination of specific gravity and dialectric to be used by tech.
There is also a marker in the fuel that cannot be duplicated which Sunoco can test for.
No exotic components which may be a health risk for teams or fans.
Helps to level the playing field. Because its a basic fuel sold at a reasonable price, the less well funded teams can afford to run a fuel that will compete with the entire field.
WHY SUNOCO RACE FUEL?
More than 80% of the member tracks already carry Sunoco and specifically this product.
Sunoco is willing to work with the balance of the tracks in any way that does not break any contract that they may have in force with their current fuel supplier. In other words, Sunoco will work with your fuel supplier or you so that you can have this product available even if you want to continue to sell other competing fuels.
Sunoco is not only the largest manufacturer of racing gasoline in the world but they are a fortune 500 company with over 6,000 convenient stores in the U.S. and they have grown by over 10% in the past year. They are recognized worldwide for their 50 plus years of supporting motorsports, particularly the top tier series of virtually every bracket of racing.
