That’s my guess too.
Kalitta makes much more sense than Tasca.
Connie Kalitta would then have the 2 best nitro crew chiefs in the world (Alan Johnson, Jimmy Prock)
Procks to Tasca makes no sense to me.
Tasca wants to drive and win a championship. Jimmy Prock and Thomas are only going to tune Austin’s car wherever he goes. Procks to Kalitta is more likely and logical to me.
" a Funny Car operation that once carried deep ties to John Force himself."
This quote is what gets me. A funny car operation, makes no mention of existing or new, nothing about a TF operation, leading me to believe it is a FC only team. Deep ties to John Force himself. What kind of deep ties? Personal ties? I would think if it were just ties to JFR, it would say so.
Is Bobby Height starting a team? What was his relationship with JP like when they were together?
Who else in the biz and still capable of starting or running their own team has "deep ties to John Force himself?"

You are correct
Also I am sure that Jimmy Prock is smart enough to include in his contract that the tuning data, car’s run results are his property not the car/team owner’s.
That's what I'd like to see, and the Prock family is from Detroit area.
Kalitta has all the equipment to build similar to JFR. Doug is in line to continue the racing operation.
Tasca to my knowledge has a body builder only.
I wouldn't be surprised if Grandpa Tom and Connie are still buds along with Poncho when he was still with us.
Idea:
Why don’t NHRA fans start an internet “Prock Watch” and start a surveillance of Tasca’s shop in Brownsburg, IN and Kalitta’s shop in Ypsilanti, MI to see if the Procks visit either shop between now and January 2026.
Working together we can solve this mystery
Grubnic is a tuning brain, not the administrative brain running all the business aspects at JFR

I agree this much more sense than Tasca, I am pretty sure Mr. Kalitta has much more deeper pockets than Tasca, unless FORD MOTOR company is backing up Tasca.

The rumor def makes much more sense that it would be Tasca. Force ran the Tasca name on the front of his car for many many years, I just don’t see any previous ties to Kalitta like it mentions

I'd take Josh anyday. He's one of the best leavers in Top Fuel!
It’s really simple that it’s Tasca lol. I’ve heard that JFR is damn near broke, they don’t have as much money as we all think. That’s why Hart comes in with his own sponsor. Then the Alexis rumors with her deep pockets. He’s looking for drivers for the near future that can basically fund themselves. The Prock’s are doing the right thing and leaving now.

I read a rumor that JCM is closing shop. I sure hope that's not true and that Ida gets some funding. She's great for the sport.
