Canapino y Ortelli no se dan tregua en Mar de Ajó; ¿se los puede ver este año en el Autódromo de Junín?
LE FALTAN 5 MILLONES
La pista de Junín está lista, completamente pavimentada y prolongada; junto a la laguna, unos 15 kms de uno de los sectores sobre la ruta 7, que comprendía el antiguo trazado rutero que ante cada presencia del TC, solía convocar multitudes. Los juninenses se desvelan por tener al TC este año. Sin embargo, al autódromo aún le falta culminar con obras esenciales; la torre de control, el playón y muro de boxes.

Y vaya novedad, el obstáculo mas importante que enfrenta la gente del autoclub juninense, es la falta de fondos para terminar la obra. Han recibido partidas de dinero de parte del gobierno nacional y provincial, con las que hicieron la pista. Ahora «faltan unos 5 millones de pesos mas para hacer otras obras como la torre de control, el playón y los paredones de boxes; están haciendo gestiones con los gobiernos nacional y provincial pero no es fácil», cuenta un influyente hombre que conoce al dedillo los pormenores del Autódromo de Junín.

Espero que se concrete el sueño de tener al TC, TC2000, TN y al campeonato argentino de motociclismo en nuestra querida ciudad!!!!
Thanks much for the kind words, Francisco (y Setty!). I very much appreciate it. I staretd the blog as an outlet for some of my research on the Global Oil system generally (I have had a book in the works with that title for some time), and on Venezuela in particular , as it is not so easy to find an audience in the US nowadays, much less sustenance, for research work on Venezuela. Whether the audience is academic, businesses or the public I’m struck by the lack of venues and practical support. For example: I’ve done a lot of work on Iran-US relations and related petroleum and nuke issues, and that goes quite differently. So, one has to really work to find avenues for sustaining any real, first-hand research on Venezuela. Getting some of the information/analysis out there broadly via blogging is part of that process (and an end in itself, of course!).On the China refinery issue: The Chinese have been talking to PDVSA for a long time about building a refinery in Venezuela as well. At this point, I understand the focus is on a refinery in Barinas (when I asked people Why Barinas? they more or less answer Why do YOU think CHAVISMO wants a refinery in BARINAS?! and, anyway, there is some internal market for products there as compared to the Faja)Anyway, my understanding is that the Chinese NOCs have no problem with this, as long as they finally get ACCESS to Carabobo and Junin fields,which is what they really want. That seems to have been making significant new progress, as I wrote about. But, one thing I often have remarked about this, and about other plans for foreign IOCs to build refineries in the Faja itself (there they are upgraders) is this: Who will supply the materials and equipment when it’s 45 days to go by ship to China, and basically overnight to Houston? The Chinese very strongly want to create CHINESE jobs in all these enterprises, yet they also don’t want to waste money.I’m pretty careful about scenarios but your pooint is well taken!Looking forward to keeping up with your excellent posts, Francisco!
SOY PILOTO DEL PROCAR 4000 Y ESTOY MUY CONTENTO POR LA GENTE DE JUNIN Y ME GUSTA MUCHO LO POCO QUE PUDE VER DEL TRAZADO DEL AUTODROMO,,,LOS FELICITO
ACUERDENSE QUE NO SOLO EXISTE EL TC HAY MUCHAS CATEGORIAS QUE SENTIMOS LA MISMA PASION POR EL AUTOMOVILISMO CON MUCHOS MENOS RECURSOS PERO CON MUCHA PASION Y GANAS.
INVITEN A TODAS LAS CATEGORIAS QUE ESTO LE HACE BIEN A LA CIUDAD Y A LOS PILOTOS QUE DIRAN (QUE LINDO EL AUTODROMO DE JUNIN) EXITOS Y ALLI ESTAREMOS
Wow, it’s beyond obvuios that CBC and the Jakarta Post both used the same AP story, the wording is identical except that the Post edited the story for length. The main problem with that AP piece is that it depends completely upon the govt for information and of course El Aissami and co. aren’t going to admit their own thugs went and shot up a march. One of the huge weaknesses in journalism is that events have to be confirmed. Even though we know that those chavistas were sent to the rally for the purpose of harassing and killing people on orders from the government they can’t quite say that unless they have independently confirmed it. Without confirmation of this fact (assuming the AP correspondent is even knowledgable enough on Venezuelan issues to know that these mobs don’t operate independently of the government) they simply run whatever drivel the govt decides to give them. Although I know for a fact that many foreign journalists do sport a leftist bias (I was interviewed by Al Jazeera English in 2009 on Manuel Zelaya and received a hostile line of questioning from their reporter after mentioning he was a git) I also remember previous chavista claims that the international media is biased against them and in favor of imperialist aims’. They can’t be biased in both directions, can they?
