Dean A Not Listed on JFR Website?

[DragFan2]

Excerpt from JFR/Chevy press conference today:

Q: DOES THAT MEAN THAT DEAN ‘GUIDO’ ANTONELLI IS NOT GOING TO WORK ON THE CARS ANYMORE, OR IS HE JUST GOING TO WORK WHERE YOU NEED HIM?

JOHN FORCE: “No, because number one, we’re going into sales. JFR (John Force Racing) had to reinvent themselves. We’ve never really sold to the completion. We sold Jim Head a new chassis from ’82. But basically because of safety. I’ve never really sold my engine program or anything like that to anybody; maybe only a couple. But right now, for financial reasons, we don’t want to have to race what you make, especially with GM technology, anywhere in our program when it comes to make this faster and quicker and win. But at the end of the day, financially, we’re going that direction. That’s why Dean Antonelli was so important. Dean understands the race car. I talked to some of the manufacturers. And they said the biggest problem you have (is) you get a salesman, the greatest salesman in the world, if he doesn’t know an NHRA race car, he’d sell the wrong parts to the wrong guy, the guys at the race track. So, Dean Antonelli will be at every race. He’ll be out there with our cars, naturally as back up; but any parts we sell to any team, he’ll be sure that they have….. He’s very key to keep at John Force Racing. He’s a personal friend. He was a young kid when he come here and we’re working together to keep John Force Racing alive.”

Huh?? Not sure I understand much of this rambling...missing words...sentences don't make sense...what is John trying to say?

Quote from Mark Breznay "PS: A MAJOR PLAYER has resigned from the Force team over this."

Mark, did I just miss who resigned ( I didn't read the entire release) or was it not mentioned. Can you let us know who?

It was the full time Ford blue oval logo painter...

He left over a year ago.

I understand that, but that is who Mark was referring to.

He left over a year ago.

As I stated in the other thread, Dave left JFR in mid-December.

I interpret it to say that Dean will be the "watchful eye," the role that Bernie Fedderly filled before he retired.

All I can say is, Pomona sure will be interesting this February.
