Anybody know what's happening at Sanair?
As far as East Coast racers, it's not very friendly here anymore. I live on the PA-OH line, an hour or so northwest of Pittsburgh. It's three hundred miles, or more, to any NHRA D-1 race. Norwalk is 2 1/2 hours, Columbus is three hours. Pittsburgh track (IHRA) is a little less than two hours. Those are the only three tracks within five-six hours of me for NHRA/IHRA. Compared to Div 4-5-6-7, I still have it made, but I'm in no man's land compared to Philly/Jersey area racers. Basically a thousand dollars (or more) every time I would go race (I quit in 2007 at age twenty-seven). I would have to move either to Harrisburg and east, or to the Ohio-Indiana line if I wanted to go back racing (which I don't). SO the proposed ideas here don't make anything better for some racers.

Is it bad to be excited about seeing gas the other day for $3.38 in eastern Ohio....? lol
