did i miss the announcement that buddy hull won't be with dunn racing in '26?

Brian Lohnes said this on his podcast last week, mostly quoting, "The Dunn FC seat is "open", AND Buddy Hull WILL be racing next year."

Depends on your tuner; get the wrong one and you could have one bad month and be a spectator come May...

To quote a very smart gent...

"These cars don't run on fuel - they run on MONEY !!"...

#TruDat!

Betcha know who that person is!!!!

Since I haven't sat in a TF car in 50+ yrs. I'd say going to IHRA my 1st season would be a good starting point. Lol

How's this for a pipe dream?

Netflix invests a few of its millions in five TF cars, plus crews and all the equipment and paraphernalia, and puts Ida, Jasmine, Krista, Julie in the drivers' seats, plus Angelle for 'mother hen' seniority, and adds Maddi in her existing new ride, and lets them loose against each other and all the regular TF guys of all ages -- a recipe for a TV series to challenge Drive To Survive and its all-male, youthful, rock-star lineup of F1 racers in the public eye.

If only...

Plan B: Negotiate with multibillionaire John Paul DeJoria to fund the entire series. The resulting possibilities are endless.

if this could only get legs (pun intended) .... love the idea.

Fer goodness' sake, I forgot to mention Leah! How could I have forgotten Leah??

Mr. & Mrs. Stewart -- remember the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith? A married pair of assassins gunning for each other? It's a whole other sub-story to add to the above (though without the promise of bloodshed, we hope).

Netflix, you are truly missing a trick.
