JFR Down to 3 Cars in 2024 (1 Viewer)

[Paul]

The news for the most part has been all positive about next year, unfortunately it looks like Prock's dragster is parked. Sucks for Prock, he would be a great replacement for the senior citizen who drives for that team

Dick Van Dyke still goes to the gym 3 days a week at 98…. dances too

Still won’t be surprised if Prock takes John’s car and John retires from driving.

Eventually.

Wonder what that means for Brittany. Half her season was flavor pac.

 

[mick]

wonder if austin will race in bradenton? and if not, will his slot be replaced, or offered to another team?

Gene Winfield stills paints cars and Don Garlits gives private tours of his museum almost daily, both in thier mid 90's.
As for Brittany, didn't she just get engaged? If so, she'll probably do a "Leah thing". My "armchair driver" prediction is, first and foremost, Robert stays where he's at, if Brittany leaves Austin takes her place and John stays driving until he finds he finds his replacement and that won't be Ashley or Courtney. I never got the impression they really want to drive a funny car. If John retires and Brittany stays, she moves to funny car and Austin gets the dragster.
Then again, there could be no driver changes and Austin stays with the organization and becomes the company chef.

Hmmm, wonder what happens with Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Barlam and the rest of the team?

Interesting considering this interview just a few weeks ago....

JFR / Race Industry Week interview

John usually holds off until January on any announcements. We shall see. Kind of odd they hired John Collins for Grubby's team if they are losing Austin's deal.

Force leaves F/C after 2025, Prock takes over. Force goes to A/F to race with Autumn.Brit retires after 2024, but unretires when Grubnic/Collins show potential for Coil/Bernie type wins.
And NHRA fixes the car audio on NHRA.TV

You could possibly be right on all the Driver & CC stuff, but the last part about the Audio is probably a real stretch.

Ok , in the spirit of where this is going…
John Force goes to Pro Stock and beats Erica for the championship

If you believe that, have I got a deal for you! A good used car sitting on a mountain in Miami. No rust, runs good.

My memory escapes me. Didn’t Prock get parked for a season previously? Considering he’s driving for the most high profile team, he’s had an unlucky start to his career.

yes. i would venture to guess most of us had never heard of 'rocky mtn. twist' / 'montana brands' ....... it is possible for a relatively unknown company to come into
a sport and sponsor indefinitely, but more probable not. pretty sure we'll see austin on-track again.

I think Prock was a crew member before he became a driver. He could be a BUG - Back Up Guy......

He is a capable crew guy if needed. I think he did the blowers on one of the teams last time he lost a sponsor.

They will get it going for him. The whole Prock family works at (basically runs) the JFR shop.

Sooner or later she'll hang it up to start a family. At that point John will be the only Force left racing.
