Austin Prock interview Phoenix (9 Viewers)

[HoodooVoodooAngus]

I don't like the optics that surrounded the Procks leaving JFR. Having said that, they had their reasons and it is a business. But I don't think you can question the skills that Jimmy, Austin and Thomas bring as a package. We've all seen good teams not qualify. I do believe that it doesn't show well that someone wasn't around on Sunday of the Gators. As far as his interviews, he's always been hyped up and a little raw and if I recall, that is something that the majority of drag racings fans say they miss. And if I was a sponsor, I'd be pissed if my sponsored driver didn't convey some kind of negative emotions when they didn't qualify. While I'll be cheering for other drivers to win more often than not, I do believe that the sport is better with Austin Prock in it than they are without him.

I crewed on Nitro Funny Cars and TA/FC for quite a few years. Not now, got a little "old" for it !

OK, I'm off the bash-Prock train. Got the message when my post on the subject was deleted.

None of my business what Tasca or any of his sponsors do or don't do with Prock anyway. If he stays with Tasca I hope they right the ship and he has a successful season. Maybe he'll reset the first time he wins another race. Over and out.

I don't know if this qualifies - owned, drove and tuned T/F for two years followed by building, owning and tuning for an additional eleven years. Consulted for two more years. Knew Jimmy Prock when he worked for Kenny Bernstein and Dick LaHaie. Austin is a young Jimmy before he matured. Currently working behind the scenes in marketing partner acquisition with several teams.

Legit question:
Do you want some real, raw emotion? or
Do you want dull, scripted, bland, pre-wrtten (might as well be pre-recorded) answers.

I know what I want to hear, and it's the same that I tried to elicit from drivers when I held the mic.
