I think I will get some towing hubs, a tow bar, an old truck and go to the races with Bob. Bob tell me you drink a little beer after the race, please. You need one to get the slicks off and bolt on the towing hubs, to install the skinny towing tires.

Several years ago, a neighbor bought a new motorhome. The tags for the first renewal were well over $1000.My 20 year old Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton is $160.00. my son's '08 Audi is over $200. Insurance is a lot more here, due to the taxes and fees levied on it, and the fact that the risk factors aren't the best here,as well.The blind greed and stupidity of state government is so out of control that there is no good economic reason to be here,unless you still work here and have a house. Add to that all, a rather high state income tax and sales tax between 8-8.5%. They act like any money you have is really theirs, and they are doing you a favor to let you retain a small portion of it. Problem is that as this state goes, so goes the rest.

The preferred exit is to the east.

I don't care for the heat. I think north has an appeal to me. No place on earth,however,is without its problems. Its an issue of which set of problems are we willing to live with?

I never said his rigs are taged in Calif. Said "hes from" and they still have shop in Cali even if everything is now based out of Brownsburg

OK, I have been going through some old ESPN videos and I could see what looked like Indiana tags on Force's rigs. Does this jive with the facts or are my eyes foolin' me? Jim

Would you care if your Trailer(s) were 3 feet shorter if you had 8 of them?

FED 387 · 01-13-2012, 04:41 PM

regarding trailer length word on the street is that many of the Pro Cars (TF/FC/PS) as well as lotsa other teams are/have been using 56 foot trailers in the past--that's why ya see so many for sale now--K Bernstein quit partially because of this mostly cuz NHRA would not get involved with the Ca Hwy people-----Comp

All of John Force rigs are tagged from Indiana for tax purpose. Jeff Teuton idea has some merit, more money left over for beer and food. Maybe this would be a great time to send a message to NHRA and let them come to you for once with an attractive packages: with each entry two crew enter for free and lunch every night, beer can be had at the Ford Tent. At the very least you would feel the love when knowing you're getting sc$#$ed. Claude
