I've been asking questions on here concerning the fuel "issue" too....and that is a HUGE ISSUE. Just heard back from the city that they can't get fuel (aviation gas) from the airport.....so for a jetski race, the racers would have to haul theirs in too.
So Russ.....how is it being resolved for this event....you've mentioned working with the Aduana?????????????????????

If we have a problem with Lukeville with the fuel I have a contact in San Diego that distributes race fuels to Mexico. The drums of Methanol are already sitting in Tijuana imported and all. Fuel will not be a problem.
Sonoran resorts is a major sponsor of the event as well as Playa Bonita Resorts and Sandy Beach Resorts since the race will be held out on the Sandy Beach area it will be a major boost in activity for these operators we are glad they are onboard. The new office will be open this week for Thunder on the beach. It will be right on Sandy Beach road as you are heading toward Las Palomas. Signing will be up next week but the office should be operational by the end of this week. If you are in town stop by. I have some pics to post of the operations and will get them up soon.

Hey Russ....could you get me the name/number of your fuels guy??? We're talking aviation gas (109+ octane).
You know darn well that any kind of arrangements you could have with the customs people at the border are as good as the person/AND time you discussed it. It can change 5 minutes from now!

I knew darn well that the racers were NOT going to be hauling down their own fuel as you previously posted, but I also know that that's the least of Bob's and who ever else's worries.
This is all so very familiar to me and others on this forum..You'll have a "operational" office and and some signage soon. You even have a poster with unauthorized pictures on it. That's all just fine and dandy Russ, but I think you might just have left a few things out. What about the track just for starter's, and who's going to be sanctioning the sprint cars etc? If you don't have a organization from the states to sanction those sprint car races it won't happen, period. If you think those guy's will haul down to Mexico on Bob's good name and a few extra bucks, you guy's are living in La La land. I'm not talking about sponsors Russ, I'm talking about who's going to sanction and run the show, and where's the track?

Based on what you have said then I guess we should just give up?? Homey dont play that game. There are many pieces to every puzzle (challenge) we are putting them in place one by one. Maybe I am living in la la land, time will tell. I will continue to do what I have been commissioned to do until someone with authority tells me to quit. Otherwise it is full steam ahead or ramming speed or whatever else cute thing you want to say to show commitment to a product! :-?:blah:

Kenny....I know what you're talking about for the sprint cars (or whatever you want to call them)...I'm talking AV gas for jetski racers! That's the info I've been trying to get for a while now...talking to the city....or asking on here!

You can get that here too. No problem. I will send you a hook up on the San Diego supplier later

I started putting this deal out there to the dirt track racing community, not only here in AZ and Cali, but also nationally shortly after you first started this thread, but I only have what you have given me to go on... Sign's, posters, and a office without something to show for it is all to familiar in Rocky Point Russ.
The questions I'm asking are core questions about this deal, and not one trick question in the bunch. Now if someone wants to pay you for not knowing what's going on...more power to ya.

Kenny...the availability in Penasco IS a problem. For endurance races (long distance) we're talking 50-100 gallons per ski...depending on the length of the race. I can just see them trying to bring 2 barrels over the border.....

Russ...are you saying that there is a supplier of av gas (109+ octane) in Penasco????? I know it's available at the new airport....but the city told me that it isn't available unless you're buying it for a plane.

You need to get who ever heads up this group ( sanctioning body?) you're talking about to contact some of the other groups of people who have done it in the past to find out how the made it work for them... Hell no, you are not going to be hauling barrels of high octane fuel across the Sonora desert.

Kenny...that's the problem...they didn't make it work years ago....one of the reasons why they stopped doing it...even before the "cartel violence" mania scared them off.

Why would you have to haul it across from AZ when it is available in Mexico? And yes all octane grades are available for the TJ outlet If it is a big enough event they will be sure to get it here for you plus may even sponsor the event to bring more awareness to what they do.
