2010 driver/team predictions (1 Viewer)

Having supply is a good thing, but when you lack cubic dollars it doesn't amount to much. I can't remember the details of the K&N deal, but I thought it was for one year, and I recall WJ stating he wasn't going to run on his own dime.

Everything he told me led me to believe they have next year sorted out.

New chassis from Haas . . . going testing in December.
 
:D
Yes sir. Let's get it started.
Who do you think is going to still be here and where do you think they will be?
Starting this now should keep us busy for a while.
Who's a good match for what team? Drivers/crew chiefs?
Who should sponsor who?
What company should be in drag racing and why?
The new season is not that far off.
Fire away!


Antron Brown drives for Shoe up till Gainsville-then Don abruptly sells the team to Forest Lucas...

Around Englishtown, Forest leases the team to Snake-who found funding-but had to let Spencer go earlier....


Snakes sponsor money turns out to be vapor after 3 races and has to park the car--Al-Anabi buys out Ants contract...

The sheik buys VIR-Memphis motorsports park-the NHRA -the rockettes and the state of New Jersey-realizing he has too much on his plate, parks Antron...

Ant gets hired by the Vikings as a back up QB..
 
:D

ROFLMAO.........................:D:eek:
 
I predict JFR to only have 3 FC's for 2010 and Mike Neff and John Medlen to assist on the other three. Something needs to be done with John and his crew- they seem to have hit a bump in the road and maybe a little mixing up will be good for them.

Larry Dixon will be TF champ in 2010.

Snake will find sponsorship and hopefully Spencer will still be driving for him.

I predict a good year for Ron Capps and the NAPA team.

Erica Enders will run the Ford in PS but I don't think she'll get in the field too often. <--- I hope I'm wrong on that one.

I REALLY want Justin Humphries back out there FT also.

In atleast one class the countdown will ruin someones year, meaning that they are going to be red hot and have a gigantic lead up until Indy just to see if fizzle away and then not be able to win the championship.

These are just my predictions and I just thought of them right now so take that for what its worth :D

:D Funniest thing I've read in a while!

We'll look back on this next year to see how much of it actually came to pass.
 
Have you SEEN him in a pink tutu???? That just SCREAMS "sponsor darling"!!!

:D:eek:

yeah between that, the wedding dress, hooters outfit and ...... I guess I'm willing to go the distance if I want something lol
 
I'm just hopeful that teams like Snake, WJ/KJ, and the Pedregons find funding to return. Also, something that I caught watching/listening to my dvr, Mike Edwards didn't exactly sound 100% confident that he'd be back to defend his championship. I hope he is, would hate to see the economy claim another.

In a perfect world, I'd also like to see:
Clay Millican
David Grubnic
Rod Fuller
Hillary Will
Steve Torrence
J.R. Todd
Melanie Troxel
Tommy Johnson, Jr.
Whit Bazemore
Gary Scelzi
Dave Connolly
Justin Humphreys
Richie Stevens
Angelle Sampey
and many others return as well..........I know I'm missing a lot of names

What, no Skuza!?

ON a serious note.. I would agree with about 85%-90% of that list.

How about up-and-comers.. Any bets on who steps up next year?
 
I predict a few bonifide sponsor rivalies will begin in 2010 with a few Top Fuel and Funny Car teams....

have fun trying to guess

Napa stops selling Castrol products which infuriates John Force. This results in the 14x Champ running a fourth car with TJ jr. behind the butterfly and Zippy spinning the wrenches while flying the colors of Advance. Naturally, this sends Cruz Pedregon over the edge; Cruzer re-grows his mustache from '92, paints his car McDonald's red, and sets about taking names. Tucked away deep in his cave, Dean Skuza catches wind of all the late breaking events and decides it's time to go racin again; afterall, you can't have the Cruza without the Skuza. Cruz's little brother Tony doesn't want to be left out, so he shows up with Larry Minor sportin the Team Geronimo Impala.

Somewhere around mid-season, the ASPCA finally takes action with John Force over the 5 second clip of him dropping the cat in Driving Force. Their course of action is to co-sponsor Jim Dunn's Canidae car, and put Whit Bazemore in the seat, booting Jerry Toliver. Jerry goes home and puts together one of his old WWF cars and temporarily returns with Dale Armstrong, AA Dale stupifies the competition running record 1000' times on one mag, don't ask me how he does it, the guy's a freakin genious! By now, Force and Shoe are bitter rivals; John's still pissed Napa won't sell Castrol, and Shoe is needing the Green Berets to escort him to and from the staging lanes, especially after the Bristol incident in which NHRA announced Valvoline as it's official brand of oil and Napa as the official auto parts store. Force pulls out all the stops by the time the tour finishes the Western swing and announces a two car Top Fuel addition to his stable. The drivers are his daughters, Brittney and Courtney, yep...John's going after Sarge.

In typical Force fashion, he announces that he's signed the U.S. Air Force to sponsor both diggers in his attempt to overthrow the DSR juggernaut. However, during the press conference, the 14x Champ fires a second salvo in the direction of Al Anabi Racing, warning the Sheikh not to get in his way. Three days into Indy and Sheikh Khalid Bin Hamad Al Thani is quickly tiring of Force's comparison to the guy in Cannonball Run. All the bickering overshadows Big Daddy's return, Garlits has been secretly slaving away on his latest creation, SR40. Designed in part with engineers from Lockheed Martin, Big's dragster asthetically looks like everyone else's, but, it's wrapped in a lightweight black substance. SR40 is also having trouble stopping the clocks, apparently the cloaking device isn't working properly. In secret testing at Palm Beach Int'l Raceway, Big has reportedly posted the first ever 2 sec pass in drag racing history. The Greek called it BS, and Kalitta claims Big has unearthed alien technology. On it's 3rd pass, SR40 resets the national record, 3.657 @ 290.72. Naturally, the NHRA tech department can't find anything illegal, and allows the car to race despite overwhelming complaints. Looks like the old man's still got it. On Monday, Garlits shreds the field with ease, posting shut off times of 3.75, 3.76, and 3.74 in disposing of Shawn Langdon, Brandon Bernstein, and Larry Dixon, all without cracking the 300 mark. In the final, Big shows Sarge whom exactly owns Indy and demotes Schumacher to Private with a mind numbing 3.011 @ 299.98. In his post race interviews, Garlits claims he's still fiddling with his new car, and hasn't even gotten serious with it yet.

As the season draws to a close, the top 5 in Top Fuel and Funny Car are within 1 round of each other. As the teams roll into Pomona for the Finals, Ashley Force is leading in FC, and Tony Schumacher is back in front of Dixon, thanks in part to a win over Larry at Vegas 2 weeks earlier. Final eliminations begin with nine drivers alive for the nitro titles, the 14x Champ's DNQ only makes him hungrier for daughter Ashley to make history. After round 1, Cory Mac is eliminated, leaving 4 to battle in TF. All 8 remaining contenders make it through to the semi's. In FC, Ashley Force puts defending champ Robert Hight away, and Ron Capps sends Bob Tasca back home. No surprise in TF, Schumacher advances past Bernstein, and Dixon makes certain Antron won't make it a DSR 1-2. In between rounds, Alan Johnson lets it slip that he's acquired some of the technology that Big Daddy utilized at Indy. Don Schumacher immediately calls for a blockade of the staging lanes, hoping that will ensure his son's 7th straight title. First up though is FC, Ashley Force vs. Ron Capps. The 14x Champ is nervously pacing the staging lanes talking to anyone that is within earshot. But this is more than a championship run, this is JFR's chance to take down the Napa car. Both cars complete their burnout's, Ace guides Ron into the beams as Guido does the same for Ashley. Both cars stage simultaniously, four tenths later Ron is out on Ashley, but both are up in smoke just after 60ft., Capps relies on his dirt car experience to keep the fish tailin Charger off the wall; meanwhile, Ashley is channelling her father, whom is literally mimicking her every move. Both cars snake down the track leaving huge plooms of tire smoke, so much of it in fact that nobody can see the scoreboards from the starting line. Almost 2 seconds later, the PA declares the new FC champion is Ashley Force. The crowd goes nuts, and apparently John Force has as well. He starts running down the track like an escaped mental patient, chasing after his daughter. As the Force clan re-invent the term celebration, there's a TF championship to decide, Tony Schumacher and Larry Dixon battling it out, once again. Somewhere watching, Rod Fuller is saying "It should be me, I'm Tony's rival". After succesfully wading through Don Schumacher's "blockade", which consisted of 4 pit bikes, the Rolling O Store, and the GEICO gecko armed with a t-shirt canon, Al Anabi Racing pulled alongside the U.S. Army team. Calm, cooled, and relaxed, Sarge was looking for yet another title; the rest of the Army bunch looked like it was their first final, no doubt AJ's freudian? slip had an effect. Just as the light flickered green both cars rocketed off the line with Dixon out in front early. At half track the Army rail kicked the rods and lit up the night with a huge fireball, allowing Dixon to sail on towards victory. AJ's bluff paid off, the Army team pushed their equipment to hard, handing the championship to Larry Dixon, Alan Johnson, and Sheikh Khalid Bin Hamad Al Thani. Somewhere in the Pomona night, John Force was last seen crying, chugging a Full Throttle, and professing his love to a case of Castrol motor oil




okay, I'll admit it, I was bored:p
