Count on it

Here is how it's going to start getting worse. I know this isn't the political section but it will effect us to the east. The thought process they have will cause racers problems everywhere.

And other than the weather you read about endless complaints about living in and being a business owner in California....

It was THE place to go to in the mid to early 1950's. Southern California

My mothers family all moved there in the mid 1950's and lived very good lives.....

Perfect weather, great jobs lots of opportunities......

Today I read more about people leaving the state.....but there are fewer and fewer places to go that would be any better....

California has the strictest laws on practically everything and high taxes ......

I live in NJ and we have the same thing but without the great weather all year !

And we already are down to just 2 drag strips and very likely only ONE if the sale of Atco goes thru and all talk says it will.....

They want to blame the Republicans in a Blue ruined/run
state!
Pretty obvious their agenda fails!

I was talking to a driver that i did a service call for here. I think if i can remember what he stated what he pays monthly. Edgewater comes to mind. Like 2600.00 a month. that is CRAZY. He stated he was in the process of getting out of Dodge...

Just saw on Instagram that Prock is having his top fuel helmet done with a custom paint job.

California is still seeing a net population gain, although it has slowed to record lows. This of course if legal population. Look for the illegal population to soar in coming months, they are already on the way. Eventually they will loose enough of their tax base that it will collapse, but who knows when that will happen. Seems the Northeast has an influx to Cali of late, taxes are lower politics are agreeable to them and the weather is way better. Have two buddies who recently left SoCal for "greener pastures" both of them sold their homes for large amounts to cash buyers from the northeast

As for Force unless he can find sponsorship I am sure he is done. As for NHRA they have already cancelled the Phoenix Nationla event and I am sure there will be more to come. Maybe the beginning of the end there....

I don't agree with Pastor Dowell always spiritually, but this man gets it and speaks Truth.

America repeating the same mistakes as the Roman Empire

I personally think Force himself is done and if the rumors are true of lost sponsorships last season and now this season with AAA we probably have seen the last of JFR for at least a while.

I'm not convinced AAA is no longer sponsoring racing - have seen no such announcement.

Peak made a Facebook post a couple days ago showing the Force hauler heading down the road. It was posted with no context, so who knows. It seemed to imply they were headed somewhere for testing.

With O'Biden revoking the Keystone pipe line permit on Wednesday gas and racing fuel prices will most likely rise significantly. Oh and the loss of 20,000 union workers. Yikes! Might not be to many of us racing even if they open the tracks up.

Yes,and everyone of us that is lucky enough to possibly make a pass this year needs to enjoy it.

I can see the House,Senate,and President soon signing a bill that bans any car from being started that hurts global warming.

I doubt that most racer's cars will pass an emission test.

Someone voted for that bunch. At least I have made a pass this year. Thanks Rob Reanolds. Everything I hold dear is in jeopardy. I have race cars an guns and own oil an gas leases. Don’t look good.

I'm with you to a point...however, the Famoso Raceway has virtually no mention anywhere on their website about Auto Club anymore. No logos, no "Autoclub Famoso Raceway" title, none of it.

(the website address is still aaafamosoraceway.com).

Take all that as you may...

well I can't predict the future, if I could I would be in a different business for sure! With that said, last fall I started updated on the race car. Regardless of who wins or loses election, it is getting there-slowly. But will it have a place to play? Is the legality of playing in question? Dunno. Again I can't predict the future. I ain't spending a ton of money on it (as I simply don't have it to spend it) but I'm not changing anything as far as what I am doing with it.

I just looked on LVMS schedule. Only 4 Wide is scheduled in April but no divisional or Spring Fling in March. Not good!

Speaking of the Spring Fling. How is Kyle Seiple doing?
