Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...

[jm]

Does anyone else wonder how Ron Capps can be singing
stupid crap under his helmet when he is given a winning
CAR, CREW, CREW CHEIF and even RACE TRANSPORTER?

Especially when his old crew and body are struggling in 13
position. One would think a bit of humility might poke thru
but I guess I am wrong. Reminds me of fraternity brothers
celebrating an A+ exam when one of them stole the test in advance...

not sure of your point....the song is from the Disney movie, and expresses "love" of a car...."our fine four fendered friend"....

guess you have to be mature, or have had kids, but it seemed fine to me...at least he didn't hop from the car with some contrived over-the-top Crazy Eddie commercial of an interview....those are far more annoying than Ron Capps being happy for posting a #1 Qual (at that time) and singing a Disney tune....

I know what he means, Ron was basically given Jack Beckman's car,crewchief, and crew, and Jack was stuck in the car Capps couldn't qualify in. Jack has been pretty humble about it in his interviews, but Capps is showing no class by rubbing it in Jack's face basically.

I knew this was gonna become an issue the minute I heard of it. Jack is being professional about it and I am sure deep down he feels he got the short end of the stick. I don't really see how Ron is rubbing it in his face, I think Ron is being professional about it as well and I think some people misunderstand what's going on here.

It's been a long time since Ron's been in a position like this, Tim and Kim turned the team around, but not like this. Again, I feel Ron is being professional about it and Jack is just seeing on the outside how good his team was. I think Ron and Jack are on thin ice right now and the team staff as well, attitudes cant be all perfect, but I think they will all be ok. Todd Smith will be coming around.

Singing the chitty chitty bang bang song when he knows he's driving Beckman's car, with Beckman's crew chief turning the screws to a #2 qualifying run while Beckman DNQ's in what was the NAPA car is pretty disrespectful in my mind.

This is obviously something that happened on the qualifying show. I didn't get to see it because I had to work. With that said, I'm sure you have Ron Capps ALL WRONG. I've met Ron and chatted with him a few times. He takes his racing VERY seriously. He's also a first class person and very good with the fans. I'm sure there has to be a misunderstanding of what was seen on TV. There has to be.

And to Ron, if you see this post, this is your old friend Leebone. Remember me? Good luck this year and hope you have an awesome season.

Its typical "Ron Capps" at his finest. He's practically kicking his teamate while he's down. Take a teamate's succesful operation and dumps his "garbage" on him while singing "Its a wonderful life" driving HIS car...disrespectul to your teamates Ron. I wouldnt expect anything other from you to be honest

to the NitroMater posters....Come on man. Are you gonna make me regret telling everyone that our NHRA fans are the best fans in the world?Just to set the record straight (I hate to ruin it with facts...),but the "Chitty Chitty Bang bang" thing came up on ESPN3 on Friday,which I am sure all of you that posted didnt see ,yet still post comments on what you DIDNT see. I had tweeted "Chitty Chitty Bang bang" early in the day from watching the "Ace Ventura" movie,those of you with a sense of humor and that saw the movie will know what I was talking about. They asked me after the run about the Tweet,plain and simple. If any of my fans on here are members there,you have my permission to paste this on Nitromater....RC

Some of you maters are ruining the NHRA fans' reputation. And your gonna make it where these drivers are not so fan friendly.

No idea what is being discussed here, I missed it, but had Ron won this race, he's the kind of teammate that would have given the trophy to Jack.

Let's please keep faith in the team.

I started the thread BECAUSE OF what I saw on espn3.com on Friday.
Have no idea about "Tweets" mainly because I don't give a **** about
anyones "Tweet".
I was discussing what was discussed between the driver and the ESPN3.com
staff at the top end.
So, at least ONE of the posters here DID INDEED see that interview in real
time. And THAT is why I started this thread. If I had not seen it, I would
not have wasted my time posting about something I didn't actually witness.
