The bottom line is that OPEC does not like the USA producing it's own oil.
Smarter, more well informed people than I have publicly stated that the drop in oil pricing is due to Saudi Arabia opening the flood gates to punish Russia, for their support of Syria's Assad family and their support of Iran's nuclear program.

As to Al Anabi's pulling out of North american racing operations, here is a link to a good article /interview showing how AlAnabi operates.

There were post on other sites several weeks ago, that the sheik had gotten in some trouble, and was not going to be around... Don't remember all the details. Some people were expecting the plug to be pulled. Did not have anything to do with oil or gas prices.

Wonder how much truth there is to that rumor?

Very interesting read. Thank you for sharing. That is a messed up deal! I would have never known those things go on behind the scenes.

You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. No sympathy for anyone who sold their soul to this guy and got hosed. Even I knew it would not end well when they got involved over here and I've never even stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

I've read many posts that the Sheik had a white powder problem over here and daddy wasn't happy.

If I recall there were statements made from Larry Dixon about there being a problem of some sort when he parted ways with them. Oil has nothing to do with this IMO.

I know I'll sound mean, but I'm not losing a wink of sleep over this, I could care less honestly, oh well.

I'm amazed that it lasted as long as it did.
