Be careful Larry, that heat will kick your ass!

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?

Around here NC moist are 3.49 to 3.79 depending/ Loving our Harris teeter fuekl rewards, We buy gift cards fior everything we buy anyway, Dbl points and get 1.00 pewr gallon off. Still 100 to fill truck

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’m heading to Fresno the first of April. Guess I will get a dose of California.
