Paul,

As a business owner, you owe it to your employees, creditors, investors and vendors to run a straight up, honest business with clean financial reports. This is more than a question of ethics, it will eventually be a question of legality that will ultimately tell the full story of what was going on behind the scenes.

Defending the business practices of Torco is a very slippery slope.

i was suprised to see Torco's name on the Chicago race. Someone could have called and told them not to call the race the Torco Nats, however that would be admitting there is an issue. In addition, i would presume that all of the NHRA marketing materials were in place. Just a thought.

Well it looks like Torco must not of paid up on there sponsorship of Chicago race. HMMMM who’s pocket is that going to come out of? NHRA? HMMM im betting not! Race teams? Doubt it! The fans? More then likely! Thanks! Torco did more bad for the sport than the ever did good!

Who's OJ? LOL

What does orange juice have to do with this?

This is the ethical side of this issue. One could accurately assume they knew they weren't going to pay the bill to NHRA and let all the marque sponsorships and subsequent exposure happen as if they were.

I wonder how some of these people sleep at night...

Speaking of orange juice, do you know why the blonde stared at the can of orange juice for four hours?


Jim

You may be in trouble if Kelly sees this!

Kelly, did you hear the one about the two blondes that were hiking in the forest? They came upon some tracks and were arguing--one said they were deer tracks and one said they were cow tracks--they were still arguing when the train hit them

What pissed me off about the whole Torco deal is that the Chicago race broadcast featured Torco ads including all the then-Torco sponsored teams. Kind of like Carquest still milking Paul Romine's sponsorship years after the deal ended. So if Torco did not pay for the Chicago sponsorship, then how did they pay for the commercial?

Some people can sleep well no mater how badly they treat someone.Try to associate with only top notch people with good moral and buisness ethics.Character is something everybody has,you will find the most sucsessfull people have a style of thier own and their character is unlike anybody elses.Its when companys or people try to by like someone else,try to be "ALL THAT" and then some do you find it will be a mater of time before the wheels will start to fall off the wagon.Torco was in the hands of people that wanted to run with the big dogs,well we all now know that didnt work.Do you suppose just for a minute that if Torco would have sponsored only 1 car and did it right that maybe,just maybe they would still be profitable??? Anyones guess.I am a buisness owner and i have a racing budget that i set and live with it.Yea it would be very easy to take more funds from my company to play even more but,there is a day when all that needs to be accounted for.And when that day comes it will be very uncomfortable for a whole lot of people.
