I know. It wasn't a jab at you I was just pointing out it was a 4/1 joke on Top Gun web site.

Don't be so sure that it is not the car..........
Oh come on, how could it be the car

I agree...There's a definite pattern here. It's only experience with the tree deciding the sunday right now.

Fuel cars don't have clutches?
You never heard of Pedal Clutches???? And I was wrong, it's 9,200 Mi!

I have no first hand information but it appears that the car is a tick or two back on the tune-up.
Likely they are offering up a solid amount of wheel time for the rookie driver, which he is.
The driver in a fuel dragster has some important input upon how the car is set up. He is responsible for maintaining an acceptable amount of heat in the clutch prior to launch. Keeping that neutral without a lot of drag is critical, each driver is unique and the adjustment to his habits has to be addressed first thing.
Some drivers get it right away, like Dixon and Del, a testament to their experience as mechanics. Some take a little longer which is more common. Other than hitting the gas on time, keeping it off the wall and stopping it at the other end are bigger challenges. Some rookies to adapt to quickly, he looks to be on track and a capable driver.
I think you will see a step up in performance (winning) shortly as the crew and driver begin singing from the same hymnal and AJ's philosophy is implemented to the next level.

Rob, my prediction with you in the cockpit would be like a -.490 RT, just because you were in a hurry to get to the end of the track and wipe up after $h1TTing yourself during the burnout.

This is so wrong on so many levels. Secondly, I would expect to read an insult like that from someone who actually drove a Top-Fuel Dragster.

This is the Internet big guy. All you need is a keyboard...on the internet everyone is and expert driver, tuner, and movie star. I've heard Alan Johnson actually gets his tuneup from a 13 year old forum poster in Nebraska.
Dont get your panties in a bunch dude, sounds like you know everything you should have know its a joke

There not as I really don't care. Please don't think I was that seriously focused on it.
Is that also where all the Pro-Stock guys get these "telephone" tuneups?

It's because they are starting from behind
This car always goes down the track first. The second car down the track (Shawn) gets to benefit from the data. A tweek here and a tweek there.....
Change the Owner and Driver, revoke their passports and I have no problem.
