Yeah they bunker busted the site for enrichment and storage. Even if they hit the Uranium it would not explode. Releases radiation. CNN reported the only source of a west coast threat that turned out bogus.
I’m all in on wiping them out. They will never stop!

Now dont get started on fuel costs , diesel here has gone from $1.95ish to $2.80ish a litre due to this war effort . Thats $11.20 a gallon . Thanks for that I feel so much safer . That will not drop overnight even if the Iranians give up today , wishful thinking .
Thats going to hurt racing / travelling . We dont have a large amount of tracks , I am racing in South Australia next weekend thats 15hrs drive .

Tex, it does suck for you guys to get caught up in this. Fuel prices for y'all are bad enough without it.

We really didn't need another war but at the same time these idiots have caused so much destruction throughout the world by handing out money to terrorist groups something needed done. I just want the good people of their country to be able to live the way they want to and not be under the thumb of an over zealous islamic state.

Curtis , I appreciate the thought . But . History kind of says not much going to change . Especially in the middle east . Its always one group lording it over another whether by way of hereditary "kingship" , ethnicity or religion .Iraq didnt work out neither has Libya . Syria is a wait and see as to whether they simply swapped one for another .
Having no game/end plan will not help .
Fuel wont be going down as fast as it went up , may not happen till mid 27 if lucky .
Rant over , politics is a bad discussion to have.

I bought some diesel fuel a few days after the war started. I got it around $4.30 a gal. & topped the dually off with 136 gal. total. It was pre-planned for a racing trip in June to Winnemucca, NV. an 875-mile round trip. I'm glad I got the fuel when I did!

I have another racing trip planned in July to Famosa dragstrip in CA. While I don't have an unlimited racing budget. I will probably go if I can top off the tanks anywhere in the $5.xx gal. range. Now, if it gets to the $6.xx gal. range, I will consider myself stupid to top off the truck for that price.

I have a total of 3 racing trips planned for CA. this year. They require me topping the truck off with 136 gal. I'm definitely not buying fuel in CA.

Where are you guys drawing the line?

A gallon of regular in San Diego is currently $5.61, but increasing every few minutes . Local media "experts" predict it to crest at around $6.40. I'm not leaving town for ANY race, I still have a house payment, and a wife who owns a gun.

I looked at the April 10 day weather forecast for Fresno, the first few days are predicted to be in the mid 70's during the day.

Bring Sun Screen just in case.

Like I said in an earlier post "Every few minutes the price goes up". In a week or so no one will be filling up a motor home, or even a big truck.

I thought they took care of the nukes months ago?

There has been no clearly stated reason for this attack, which is convenient so they can declare their "objective" has been achieved at any point.


Turn off CNN and go read some real news, the reasons for these actions have been very clearly stated.

I don’t watch TV news.

Many people in powerful positions have clearly stated the reason for the action. The issue is that the reasons they have stated do not match each other.

To anyone who believes the Iranian regime is harmless, maybe it's time for you to move there.

Property values couldn't be lower, perhaps a little beat up but dirt bag cheap. Gas is cheap(er) but water and food are a bit challenging to find. Ya probably don't want to mention that you came from American (Suggestion: lose the license plates) and never, EVER order short ribs or even a ham sandwich for dinner. Eventually you will become accustom to the heat, fires, smoke and the smell. You'll love the friendly (IRG) for entertainment, they offer daily public executions of protesters (not exactly a accurate version of Mary Poppins).

If this is you cup of tea, and you want to leave America because of the hike in gas prices I'll help you pack so you can leave as fast as possible.
