Not a Stock or Super Stock issue but Al-Anabi leaving NHRA.

Now, if and when Force and or Schumacher ever pull the plug.....well, then,....that will be News. Perhaps a gallon of gasoline selling for 1.90 has something to do with this. M.J.

Wouldn't be many fuel cars left if they did.

Btw, a gallon of regular is $1.76 here right now. Diesel is $2.67, I topped off my 100 gallon diesel motorhome tank at $3.39 a gallon before storing it for the winter, just knowing it would be higher this year. LOL

Really think that is related?

I would speculate that the lower oil prices are costing them money and running Fuel and Pro Mod teams is very expensive so something had to give. As a lifelong educator though I'm not familiar enough with the economic structure to say this with certainty so my opinion is nothing more than an educated guess. Living in Texas I have friends/family in the oil field business and they're complaining about how it's hurting their paychecks but from the consumer's viewpoint it's very hard to argue with gas under $2 a gallon. $1.94 here in East Texas.

Qutar is in the natural gas business, not oil.
