This same old song and dance comes out approx. every seven years . A State or local government decides to try to get rid of old , abandoned , or unsafe cars , and the speed equip . manufacturers overreact , led by the SEMA , who has to justify the large membership dues it charges by making people think it really does something . It does not . As a long time member of SEMA , i have yet to see them really make anything significant happen . What they are good at is getting the general public whipped into a frenzy to fight their battles for them . Giving us talking points to use so that their message is sent to Washington . The public does the work . SEMA can say they made a difference .

And that is something NEW in this day and age? 100 mouths and 2 who do the work?
I sent it in knowing full well it will be in teh trash as soon as it gets to them. We try to help people KEEP there old cars not crush them. The problem is IF they make a law that any car over X YEARS OLD MUST BE CRUSHED, then it is time to dust off the 2nd amendment.

Spoken like a true democrat, I wouldn't have expected anything less.

No Jim I didn't see that part. But I still don't see that as big a deal. That's the LEAST of race car drivers problems now a days. Just keeping their job to pay for racing is the number one thing.

I agree Rick. I was surprized to see 110 race gas still at 8 bucks last Sat. night. Maybe it's left over from when all gas was higher. I've been running av-gas for awhile at $4 to 4.50 per gal. with no problem. Its low-lead and 100 octane. Several racers I've talked to are doing this too. Now its time for tires Hope to see you around some time again.
