I understand that Drag Racing is a business, but after watching this, for me it will be hard to root for Prock. John Force gave him the shirt off his back!

Agree, but that makes it so much more fun!
Hope the ‘Stang is is black, and the media plays up the villain aspect, Prock seems comfortable with his new role

Jimmy and Austin are just as important to that teams success. I will never get on someone for making a decision that's best for them. Can't wait to see that ford kick some a**

Matt so you are saying that Jimmy and Austin were important for the success of JFR? Please keep in mind that JFR won the championship in 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2013. Jimmy joined JFR in 2000 and left in 2014 then returned in 2017 and left in 2025 with his family. Austin was born in 1995 and drove go carts and sprint cars until Snake and JFR put him in the Montana Tools T/F car in 2019, in 2020 he ran only 2 events, in 2021 he ran 1 event filling in for Clay, 2023 he ran the full season I believe finishing 8th in points then in 2024 Austin took over for Hight. Jimmy can tune and Austin can drive (just like Doug due to their sprint cars days) not sure about Thomas. But without FAM (Force American Made) machining center behind them we'll see just how good they really are. Only time will tell, hero or zero.

Austin sure is a young looking 55 yr old.

Jimmy has been successful everywhere he has gone. Austin is as talented as anyone in the funny car. Tasca buys from ajpe, I really don't see the drop off for prock. I think the force fans sour grapes is the biggest issue

doesn't look like they'll have quite as good selection of clutch discs so it might take a while to get it right. JFR built a lot of hard parts they now have to source so there are some new challenges. I expect by mid-year they'll be dialed in.

The hell with winning races, somebody tell me where his foutain of youth is!

Kyle - sorry fat fingers and failure to proof read - should have been 1995

No worries Chuck, I was just being a smart butt.

Bingo, they have a serious case of diaper rash.

I betcha sooner than that....Jimmy is looking at Tasca's parts inventory sayin...no no no no maybe wrong wrong and wrong......I think Tasca's bank account is still smoking after Jimmy finished with it....

Your missing the point....It's not a question of who has more money or how big their johnson is....What i'm saying is that Jimmy is probably ordering a lot of new parts that are probably better parts than what Tasca has used before...But.....Just my opinion...Press on....

Wonder if force will sell them parts lol

Wouldn't make sense to take money out of your pocket.

Hagan, Todd and Capps have recently won championships without JFR parts. The Procks might not dominate like they did the last two seasons but they are going to be in the thick of it in the countdown.

cash and availability are two different things

Speaking of having to fund your nitro cars and find sponsorship, this season might be a relief to John as far as Josh Hart bringing financial help , and especially Alexis bringing sponsorship . Can you imagine what she could contribute to the bottom line?

I have always liked Alexis.....She did okay on her own....However....I think she'll do well in the new camp....I hope..
