All I have to say is "Monster Energy Drink Funny Car."

Back when KB and Dale ruled the earth, there was a helluva lot less FOOF and a helluva lot more R&D.

Prediction Time: Copart will leave drag racing in November and move totally into NASCAR's loving arms. Here's a really wild one for ya...KBR will merge with Lucas Oil Racing next season. Misery loves company.

Mark I find it interesting that only slightly more than a month ago you said this when talking about Budwiser and KB

"Sadly, you really can't quantify, too easily, a fine ambassador and his class operation and the cache it brings to their marginal product."
And now

"They are getting flat painful to watch. If you walk by their pits, you tend to be struck by all of the foo-faw(banners, decorations, hot milfies, guys in clean clothes standing around trying to be a part of the circus). Do you think Tim and Kim are either laughing at the TV or throwing their shoes at it whenever the car runs.

Hey Kenny, loose the foof and hire a couple of real racers to run your car."

Did it occur to you that some of the "foof" comes with sponsors and thier expectations ?

Im sure the crew would be very happy to learn that they arn't "real racers" I mean its ONLY a fuel car how hard can that be right :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

What did the Lucas's do to get drawn into this nonsense? They won a couple of races last year ... will likely win a couple of more this year. In fact, didn't Langdon got to the semis yesterday? I hardly think they are "miserable".

All of the "foof" mentioned with Copart is called "sponsorship activation" and it is good for the team and sport. It likely came from the Copart folks to maximize their investment in the sport while at the track with direct customer contact ... likely had/has very little to do with KB. Those tend to be the sponsors that stick around, as opposed to companies that just stick a label on the side of the car and disappear at the end of the season.

And the R+D you mentioned with AA Dale, well, that was when there was R+D and development to be had. Now, everybody basically runs with parts out of the same bin as regulated by NHRA. Again, has little to do with KB.

Unlike some folks around here, I am under no delusions, KB has forgotten more than I will ever know about running a professional race team ... I am more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he needs to make a change, he will. Like I said earlier, with the Countdown format, no reason to get into a big hurry to make changes for change's sake.

Nothing against Rob Flynn but Bernsteins need to get a top notch CC,im sure copart is a 1 yr deal and if they want a sponsor for next year they need to start going rounds and or win races. Donnie Bender would work out!!

Donnie bender will be working with Anita makela's top fuel team this year over here in europe.
 
I bet Rob will end up somewhere soon.

Just goes to show how over time you have ups and downs. Just a few years ago he led the points all the way to the end and missed the championship by a round...

Ahhh..examples of why message boards rule, and short buses transport.

Personally, I don't see how anyone can sit at their keyboard and badmouth a tuner. I mean..it's like sitting here watching a surgery and bicth!ng because he's not making the right cut!

EXACTLY! I do think that the same basic tune up can get different results base on many things (chassis, parts, crew, etc...). Sometimes the tried and true approach fails and the attempted changes do also. These guys don't get "stupid" they just struggle with the parts they have. He'll find a home soon.
