The minute you leave California the fuel price drops to 5.50! We saw 7.00$ in ca. Best we saw in Idaho and Nevada was 5.39. Bit of a relief? Not much… One would think it would slow big rigs… nope ! 70-80 mph! Saw a huge number of alligators on the highway. No thanks. California Screaming! Raceless in California! | |||

Drag racing is just like getting high. Some get high no matter how much it costs. Some get high in moderation. It's an addiction like any other addiction. | |||

You mean like this. He didn't know what he hit. I have some here where as the brake chambers were ripped off... A mess.  | |||

Ding ding. We have a winner! Last night heading down out of the Sierra. We were smelling brakes and seeing light smoke. 18 wheeler about 1/8 mile in front of us, Trailer brakes erupt into fire! He got it stopped but holt crap! California Screaming! Raceless in California! | |||

I'm in the "racing" business everyday, but I don't get to race often. Racing for me is a vacation. I have two cars and lots of equipment I bring with me whenever I go racing. I don't know when I'll stay home, but $6 a gallon diesel ain't gonna do it yet. | |||

Diesel is $5.99 a gal here. I'm glad my car is still not together and I'm in no hurry to finish it now. I'll be back, one day. 72 Nova "Hooptie" | |||

If the price of fuel at the pump keeps you from going racing, you’ve been in over your head for a long time. | |||

My tow vehicle is just under $0.50 a mile in fuel prices now. If it gets to $1 a mile I’d limit my events to 500 miles at most one way. I easily do over 10k miles towing a year. Like I posted before, these fuel prices are just temporary. October 2021 I paid $164 for a barrel of Methanol. Yesterday it was $189 when I got it. I have less time than money, and all this is just a bump in the road for my racing desires. | |||

I appreciate your optimism, but you may want to read this link....and if you truly understand the economy, you will also understand how this affects virtually all commerce at both large AND small scale. https://www.forbes.com/sites/d...transition-out-loud/ Jerry Kathe | |||

One man’s opinion. ^^^ Meanwhile, I ain’t scared and fuel prices at the pump will in no way effect my "God given rights, our constitutional right to LIFE, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" I will continue to pursue my happiness bracket and class racing with my son. We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time! | |||

Markemark is right fuel prices are temporary, they'll be pre 1970 once the plebs are out of the market and elites limo's and Lear Jets are the only to get fueled. You don't know Jack if you don't know this is coming. Everything starts in California. | |||

It's truly amazing how many continue to think it's business as usual. Naturally I hope I'm the one that's delusional, but time will tell. History gives us the blueprint. In our lifetime we have only known milk and honey and living in the here and now it's easy to ignore the inevitable cycles. Illegitimi non carborundum | |||

You are delusional! The vast majority of those posting here aren’t even good bracket racers yet we appear to have scholars in history, economics, politics and government posting here, who knew a meaningless Internet forum would attract such great minds.   | |||

15 days to flatten the herd. The sad part of the many who believe it'll be business as usual anytime soon, is they're obviously suffering from Stockholm syndrome. | |||
