Every thing that Randall said.

The cost of just about every thing is higher in California.

The only one I would agree with is lower cost of doing business.The fact of California is losing drag strips does not have anything to do with how NHRA does business.

Absolutely is. My sister and her husband moved here from Encino a few years ago and could not believe how much cheaper everything is. Even their perscriptions were less than half what they were out there. I see housing prices and wonder how anybody affords to live there. Makes no business sense to operate a business out there.

...And the folks just voted themselves a nice tax increase .
Not to be confused with the people who actually PAY taxes.

Most customer oriented businesses would locate near their customer base, like near D1 and D3....but I guess we are not talking about that kind of business......racing today is located in the Carolina's and Indy.....turn the lights out in California

Outlaw the 200metric, and make everyone go back to the transmissions that actually came in the car(since i cant afford one, right now)

And go back to TRW's(since i have a new set in the box)

, Heck, i have about 20 sets of factory rockers, while your at it! hehe... Luckily, i have a set of rollers... The 2 year seat belt deal is a load, too... Come on, sanctioning bodies, seatbelts dont need replaced, unless there is a wreck. And even then, they probably dont. I'm all about safety, but, we all know seatbelts dont go bad in 2 years....Oh, dont forget to rule out the aftermarket disc brake setups,,, i cant afford those, either...hehehe

I would like to see Dad continue to get better. Well enough that we can travel up to Brainerd, and race Dan Fletcher in the final of Superstock................

Then Id have to flatten all 4 tires on Dan's car, or have the Minnesnowta Midget hold him hostage so he cant win!!!!!!!!!!
