curious, that's all - anyone know anything?

"He's my lead guy. Everything Robert says is totally the truth. He tells the story and [does] not sugarcoat it like I do. He keeps his nose clean. It's weird for me. I'm used to smoke and mirrors."

Intriguing.

Courtney in a F/C in 2011, more intriguing!

Very good read, but really nothing that a blind man couldn't see coming down the pike.

"I told her she has to get in a weight-training program with me before getting in a Funny Car. Courtney's real frail. She could have been a model. The William Morris Agency wanted to sign here. But she said, 'Dad, I don't want to be a model. I want to be a race car driver.' "

That's gotta warm Papa's heart.

Wouldn't surprise me to see her do both, she certainly appears capable!

I guess it goes without saying that one of the best things that could happen in the future with everyone racing Funny Car.....family feud (on track)!

I think the most interesting quote is as follows:

"We're making some changes," Force said. "I'm looking at two new crew chiefs. Coil and Bernie are my lead, but there are some issues with age, so I'm bringing in some young blood to hop them up a little bit. I need a young kid to light a fire."

thanks mel,
that's the exact phrase in the whole article that caught my attention.
sure new faces mite be joining, but are old one/s leaving?

 

[ozfuel]

or is one of the new crew chiefs already there ? Maybe driving a JFR funded car ?

Not really Martin. Just a few short sentences from me to say that I'm sick and tired of this whole kiss the a$$ of my teammate philosophy.

If Driver A is 1st in points, Driver B is 2nd in points for instance. Screw this stance "I hope we meet up in the final". Someone come out and say I hope the guy/gal doesn't even qualify.

Sorry for the postseason harsh words, maybe I'm wrapped in the Snake/Mongoose book. Anybody understand?

Hey Steve- EVERYONE is "sick and tired of this whole kiss the a$$ of my teammate philosophy"- EXCEPT for the Team Owner/Managers that have to answer to the Money Men at the end of the season.

I'll be stunned if AAA ISN'T on Robert's car next year, after all the flaming hoops they went through to get him into the circus. And then he turns around and wins the whole shootin match?!?! Who woulda guessed...

Bet there's a few sheepish answers coming out of some other camps when they have to sit at the grown-up table with their hats in their hands...
