All those people will be helped immensely by lower fuel prices. Grass roots racing dropped way off when gas prices doubled, it will start to grow again when it doesn't cost us a $100 in gas just to tow to the closest track. 
It's amusing how you state that like it's going to last until race season, never mind lasting completely through one. Once everyone's bought up new SUVs and pickup trucks, the price will go right back where it was plus.
I agree, it is only a matter of time. But hopefully it will be under $2 for at least a couple years. There are a lot more cars on the road that get 30+ mpg than there was 8 years ago, and even the pickups can now get 18+. I would think that the demand is going down, thus lower prices.
When it hit $1.50/gal back in '08, I was thinking I should pre-buy 10,000 gallons, but I didn't. If it hits that price again, I will.
break open your wallet, I saw $1.65 cash price on the way to work this morning
still paying $2.78 here in SoCal........................but the good news is no snow, LOL I take the good with the bad.

Remember:
Michael Ashley and Lend America?
Penthouse?
John Costanza Institute of Technology?
CMKX?
Torco and Evan Knoll?
Super Shops?
NHRA AND their Nitro Racers will fight each other to jump in bed with anyone who has a few bucks to spend, regardless.
It's been that way for two decades or longer, and this is just another example.
I honestly figured the Al-Anabi thing for a two year run max. So I was surprised it lasted this long.
Next up, How long can Traxxas stay involved at their current level??

When al-anabi first started he wanted to field 4 dragster 4 funny cars and if anyone remember Matt Smith and Angie had it on the bikes. they where the first to get the axe... then it when down a little more and a little more. then two high profile drivers walked away.. more going on here than meets the eye.. And AJ is looking for sponsors he could do it on his own money. He owns AJPE, Childs and Albert and a huge Vineyard. So if you need anything for a fuel motor he is the man to see.

You say this based on what? I've been to their shop in Santa Maria to pick up parts. They are farmers turned racers, but still farmers. While they might be able to support a 1 car team on their own money for a while, I don't think they will do it. They will need sponsors long term. And yes, they should be able to find sponsors or find a job in the business. If not, he will still be one of the engine producers to the sport. Good riddance to Al Anabi, I hated seeing them in our sport anyway. Read what happened with the ADRL, it quite a story.

If the written agreed deal was "broken", the owner of a country might feel inclined to walk away, however if the racers have a strong case, and egos/principles aren't involved, a satisfactory settlement is likely to save face and allow everyone to move on, especially if money is unlimited for the at fault party. Regarding low gas prices, one supertanker sank by hostile action in the Arabian sea will rocket prices up overnight, and with the trillions at stake, surprised there hasn't been a false flag sinking already.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The oil group(over seas) doesnt want it to go up YET.. they
are trying to kill off the fracking oil... as soon
as they dont make a profit(fracking companies) they
will stop producing... then the barrel price will jump...
the over seas oil kings can ride it out.. but can
the USA companies

True... but they dont like competition either.. right
now since fracking is somewhat new OPEC can drive
them out of business fairly easy.. then OPEC can
dictate the price again

American capitalists only allow competition because anti-trust laws force them to.

And OPEC doesnt play by those rules... drive them
out and your in control.. then you reduce the output
and jack the price... save your equipment and make
max dollar..... I see nothing wrong.. LOL... hell
the USA companies wont even build any new refineries
since it cuts into the profit margin
