[mick]

anybody that wants to break out and take the initiative to be an owner has all my support.
ant and ron two fairly recent classic examples.

Would this be an expansion to JFR or Dejoria taking over for Austin Prock. While I find it hard to believe that the Prock family would leave Force racing, there has been references to it on NHRA.tv several times this year. Also Brian Lohnes has made comments that this would be an insane offseason. To me, Procks moving on would be in the insane category.

IF someone hires the Procks away from JFR and has the funding could Prock do the same thing some where else ?? or does JFR have some "special" parts. Maybe Prock knows something or just doesn't like some decisions being made. Was Procks other son supposed to drive and Josh came along with a bunch of money ?

It's definitely not the end of JFR. And it's a FC

Ashley is bored being a mom and will get back in the seat?

It’s gonna take me a while to integrate all the driver and team shuffling, at least into Phoenix next year. It seems that some of the people I currently root for I’m going to have to root against and vice versa. Apparently there’s more to come too. Should be interesting.

I wonder if Capps is buying/using all of the dragster stuff from JCM and if that puts Ida out of ride. Does JCM go away?

Capps bought Procks TF dragster and is building 2 more chassis announcement at SEMA

Thomas has never wanted to drive as far as I know. He always worked on Austin's sprint cars in the past.

I thought RWR bought that Prock TF setup, plus the rigs, and is running them with Schumacher?

Yester when I got the update for JFR driver, I was also told Ida has no funding, so I'm speculating JCM is either going 100% on his kid or he's pulling out.

i recall reading/hearing that as well. could be jfr had a rather large inventory?

also been wondering if peak/def involvment with jfr will continue?

Just heard that Josh will be driving Brittany’s car next year. Oh weird.

Expect a dramatic change in prettiness and personality with top end interviews.

I think RWR bought at least one hauler and maybe a spare chassis. Per Capps he bought the car Austin was driving.

Not for that specific seat in that car. Trying to imagine Josh driving for Grubby.

It’s a whirlwind trying to keep up right now, and I guess we aren’t done yet.

Not to argue but the headline says "Driving the JFR TF Dragster." They only have one. And it was certainly known that Britt is taking a break.

And yes, there is some jaw dropping news still coming. Stay Tuned......

I think they had several. Apparently, they have sold at least one of them to RWR, and there’s another one out there that someone else just got.

I’m just discussing.

Chris, did those cars have a crew chief and crews available for next year at JFR ?

When Alan says they only have one, I believe he means as in one TF team. They obviously had other chassis available, especially since a few years ago they had a 2nd TF team with Austin driving.

Mark, I don’t know at all. There is one car that went to RWR and at least another that was said to have gone somewhere else. And then, allegedly they’re building a new one?

I know what everybody else on this forum knows.

Honestly, this is part of the fun.

This is the JFR Press release October 15th. Again, pretty clear.
