According to a crew member at DSR, there is enough nitro at their shop to supply all the fuel cars in NHRA for the rest of the season. Guess the ball is in NHRA's court now. Should be interesting what they do with it!

The interesting thing about this is the tone of the IHRA person's response. No panic, no whining and moaning, no blaming the other guy, no pleading emails that contain "you da man", none of that. Simply business.

"We saw a problem coming, we did the smart thing and bought up what we knew we'd need, end of story." How refreshing...

All the more reason for the other sanctioning organization with more at risk to have been even more proactive. Right?

I believe I heard that the nitro at Milan was $900 for 400lbs (about 40 gallons).

And your point is....?

It appears to me the Sputniks in Glendora better wake up before they burn up in this old worlds atmosphere.

IHRA has enough NITRO and NHRA does not.

Brings a whole new meaning to what Doc said. One letter makes a difference. Only this time it is Hero to Zero.

"Ma" is in the know as usual! Answers the question about what was in all of those unmarked trailers parked behind DSR last week! And yes . . . it is going to be very interesting.

I would make Compton and Light resign, and make them do away with the official "fuel supplier" before I would sell them anything!

As far as the IHRA, they take care of all their racers!
