Live from San Antonio IHRA

For me it was just a simple issue, I had to work... project schedule changed, and I cant get away this weekend. I was looking forward to it, as this was probably my only Nat. this year.
I am not sure why there are not more cars there. Yes, it is hot this weekend but not that hot... and this is TX... Actually very nice day in Dallas today.
I am trying to support IHRA, and local bracket tracks when I can. Cost of fuel is just a small pain in the rear... not really that much more money at the end of the weekend.
I wonder is people are getting nervous again, with the gas prices going up daily. While the extra cost of fuel is not really that much on a trip, it drives the prices up on everything. Food, clothes, everything. The fuel hits all companies and it will hit the economy again, if something does not happen soon. I know what it did to our business. Sales go down, as people watch what they are spending money on. Only buy what they must have, being careful with their pay.
The fuel cost really hit the normal working person a couple of years ago, and the economy was just coming out of it.
What will happen this time?

Wish I was in San Antonio
