best crew chiefs...

[TooTall999]

Please don't tell me everybody forgot about Dick LaHaie already?

Yeah...what he said...lol

 

[Demon]

IMHO..it has to be the "Ace" !! He has an operation,goes thru chemo,and is what..8 points away from the championship?? And look what he's doing this year as well.

Zippy also ranks up there,he did win the big one last year,and I see many years of that from him.

Somethings change and some stay the same.

Looking back, I'm amazed Shoe let Neff get away, especially to Force. I know I've heard the story behind the departure, but can't remember it now. That has been a damn good 'get' for JFR.

 

[Terry]

If I recall, Neff wanted to drive and Force was going to give him a ride in addition to crew chiefing

 

[Toejam]

I think looking at any Racer who ever dominated and look at their Crew chief. Did Don Garlits ever have a Crewchief? Or did he do it all himself?

 

[Mary]

Coil, Neff, AJ

 

[Just Paul]

Holy crap!!!! Bring back an 8 year old thread???

 

[haagar]

Holy crap!!!! Bring back an 8 year old thread???

Tell me about it. I kept seeing Austin Coil on the active list and was all "Did I really miss something that big?" until I looked at the date!

 

[Butch]

I find it interesting how some of the predictions paned out, and some didn't. Makes for some good reading on an off weekend.

 

[Larry jr.]

Anyone who knows anything know I am the greatest crew cheif who ever lived.

 

[Dragracer]

Don't forget that Keith Black was not only a engine builder but a tuner of many cars also. Same with Ed Pink and Dave Zuechel (spelling) who left us all too soon. All three of them were fantastic: Greer, Black, Purdomme. When Zuechel showed up at the races you knew you were in big trouble, same with Ed Pink.

 

[Nick Name]

Let's see who can bring back the oldest thread.

 

[Leebone]

I'm going with Coil because he has the most championships. As far as currently, I go with whoever is hot. Right now it's Zippy.

 

[willy]

And a nice entry into the old thread, by Harry, as well.

page 2, jim jannard with very accurate 2006 insite......Jimmy Prock and Zippy seem to me to be the next generation of tuning stars. 10 years from now, my bet is that they will be the ones in the top slots

Jim O
Alan Johnson
jimmy prock

 

[cephus]

Ronnie Swearingen, he has tuned multiple different rides FUEL FUNNY, TAD, TAFC, NOSTALGIA FC,
PRO MOD, AND WON IN ALL OF THE RIDES, I THINK THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF , WHO ELSE HAD DONE THIS,, !!!!!

 

[Doug in the woods]

I think you got the names right but wrong order

Alan Johnson
Jim O
jimmy prock
I remember when Alan Johnson with his brother Blaine was driving and they went from alcohol to fuel, had a small trailer no where near the equipment other teams were running and after Alan got the fuel tuning figured out the team was kicking every ones butt down the street, including Jim O.
What I can't figure out is why Jimmy Prock is not back tuning a dragster instead of a funny car.
