Sorry folks Stevie Wonder could see this one coming. A very good driver with a big dollar sponsor going with him. As i mentioned in previous threads I had several really good conversations with him both in his TAD days as well as a T/F pilot and he was always a gentleman to to talk to and carried and presented himself like a professional. He will do well at JFR.

the article published on nhra.com also said further announcements about the program will be made at the conclusion of the season.
josh also seems to have ties with tech-net, and both josh and JFR have a common sponsor from the past. advanced auto parts.

FWIW Advance auto parts may not be in a financial position to do anything, let alone spend money on a racecar, especially after this whole first brands bankruptcy debacle.

First of all, congrats to Josh for landing a position with a dream team. I'm sure he will do great. Also, I love the Burnyzz Speed Shop logo with the fire flames. I envision this as being a great looking dragster.

OK, now that they have a driver perhaps they can turn their attention to giving Hart a competitive car. 340+ is nice but not when it's paired with mid-3.70 ETs and tire smoke when Grubby tries to get the car to move in the front half. They get it right on occasion but unless the track temps are below 100 degrees it's often 3-400 feet and poof unless they take a lot of clutch out of it.

Are the fuel cars having issues with substandard clutch discs again? I've heard it mentioned a few times. Seems like compared to years past, everyone in both nitro classes is just a bit off.

They keep figuring out how to make more power but not how to get it to the track, clutch is now the weak link ??

Disks are less consistent than what they use to be.

It's hard to say what's going on when it comes to the consistency of that car and others. I don't buy the clutch disc complaints. I've heard some of those cars have as many as 400 - 900 discs allocated to them. I might currently have around 100 new discs and 100 used discs. So, who knows what rabbit hole some have gone down into.
