Glad to see my gateway to America and their cheap gas is "red hot" Michigan...

This morning in Greenville, SC I paid 3.06. Before you get too jealous remember you have midgets and sprintcars and all we have is napcar. Oh there is a dirt track nearby that features 11, that's right ELEVEN, classes of stockcars each Saturday night (and Sunday morning).

Supposedly the price increase is due to refineries being down for maintenance, thus decreasing refining capacity. The usual excuse for the summer price increase is the switchover to a summer blend, so keep that in mind for next month.

It should be obvious that race tracks in Indiana are in conspiracy with oil companies, gas stations, and mother nature to rip off fans and owners. The oil companies and station owners have raised prices just in time for the heart of the racing season. The track owners have conspired with Mother Nature to create a series of rainouts. Most importantly the rain often arrives after fans and owners have either arrived at the track or are on their way. A secretive plan to get more vehicles on the road to buy high priced gas. Have these folks no shame?

I am so disgusted I will not visit my local track (Kokomo) again until Sunday.

Well ok, in truth I have to leave town on business so I can't attend the show tonight.

Ron, they have more excuses than you know who, they also have a person, whom they relieved of their dutys, but kept them on the payroll, their only duty now, is whenever there is a crisis, is to walk to the bowl in the cooler, and pull out an excuse for the day! Sound familiar? Bob
