JR's ego precedes him...

I would agree with that Bross.....if he could lose that, he would have a much better chance of getting out there full time.

I think Dave is an awesome driver. I also think the JR is a good guy he has always been very nice to me. First met him when he turned wrenches for Bob Gilberton.

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

At this point, he's entered in all but Vegas and Pomona.

Thanks, great news. That will make the clowndown a little interesting.

Not a big DC fan cause he was one of the "dirty dozen".

BUT.... no doubt he is one of the best NHRA PS drivers out there.

Who are the dirty dozen, and what did they do?

JR's ego precedes him...

And what's wrong with that?

Jeezzz... sometimes the PCing of this sport just makes me want to gag....

Perhaps, but he's preceded some of the best Top Fuel pilots on the planet to the finish line while driving for teams with much smaller budgets. It ain't ego if you can back it up, and frankly, I know it's a hotly debated topic but I like a driver with a little fire in his (or her) belly. Heck, some of Tony Schumacher's best post-run interviews were when he was spouting off about naming names with respect to other teams complaining about the enclosed cockpit. I was glad to hear him a little miffed for a change - we haven't heard any of that since Hot Rod Fuller spun him up a while back.

I say JR Todd would be a welcome re-addition to the TF ranks... save the PC interviews for the local tiddlywinks competition.

twelve racers caught cheating in IHRA several years ago that were banned from racing IHRA. If I remember right they had illegal / hidden electronics
