[Rene Danner]

[Hydro Junkie]

Looks like buying two cases was a good idea a while back. Now the question is how long will it last?

 

[Beau Parsons]

Rene buy me a 12 cases, you buy it and I will come pick it up. Sucks I need some for my twin.

 

[Rene Danner]

I am sure they will still be selling it to pay the lawyers.Beau put it on your credit card and have it shipped to me, I will take care of it for you LOL

 

[RobertWurster]

[RodneyPierce]

they just opened another branch.. I doubt they are going anywhere. I just ordered 2 cases of fuel last week, was delivered today to the customer.

Beau, like we talked before, you need fuel just let me know.

Someone must have bought the rights to distribute the Torco brand. Evan Knoll originally got busted back around 2008. He was giving money to a lot of pro drag racing teams, sponsoring NHRA events etc. etc and I mean throwing money all over the drag racing world When he got busted a lot of Pro Racers we out of luck and had to stop racing.

Now they are really coming down on him with more charges. The media probobly should be using the word FORMER owner of Torco fuels. Evan has had happier days for sure.

Found something here http://blog.mlive.com/kzgazette/2008/08/federal_agents_raid_office_of.html

Oh yeah, they popped him big time! He was also the owner of US-131 Raceway Park locally known as Martin Dragway after John Grivens got too old to run the strip. Torco is still doing business without him, I believe under new ownership.

It's really too bad that he got stupid as he renovated the strip, replacing the old bumpy track, installed a new larger tower, new restrooms, concession stands and just plain fixed the whole place up. The NHRA pulled their sanction after John let the place go downhill.

 

[Norm Doerr]

Martin Dragway! that brings back memories.

I remember around 06 or 07 Knoll got in a car wreck, and a lot of folks were quoted in variouis media streams saying that he had a personality change after that.

 

[RodneyPierce]

Alright, just wanted to clear up any confusion. Evan (liek stated above by Norm) was the FORMER owner of Torco fuels. HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT TORCO NAME.

Dana Feather is the current owner, and purchased the name in from Torco USA in CA.

Below is a quote from Larry Manross, the VP of sales and marketing. This is from a direct email with Larry:

"Our owner Dana Feather stepped in and purchased the name from the parent company Torco USA in CA which specializes in oils."

So, no worries. It is here to stay!

Funny how a guy like that can lie to a government agency rip them off for huge capital gain and it ruins his life... HOWEVER The Government can lie to it citizens, rip of businessmen and they get in no trouble at all not to mention a really good benefits and retirement package; then we the people who hire them don't even fire them by voting them out.

Just sayin

 

[RodneyPierce]

AMEN BROTHER!!!

But then again, popular vote doesnt really count anyhow

 

[SayMikey]

Might be time for this thread to just go away,since it has no bearing on Torco Fuels

 

[sbowden21]
