Less than a week to go 36 SuperStockers????

[Alan Roehrich]

The car count is due as much to travel expenses and the lack of class eliminations as it is anything, although some I have talked to have also mentioned entry fees and the threat of an oil down fine, as well as just growing weary of being the designated whipping boys of NHRA.

Oil hit, or at least got close to, $100 a barrel yesterday. We may see diesel prices hit $4.00 a gallon or higher before Memorial Day. That combined with other factors, including the fact that fuel prices are going to stagger or stunt the economy again, may have a much greater effect on car counts than it did the last time.
