Larry Dixon gone from Alan Johnson Racing (1 Viewer)

[Jimbo]

What if it was Larry's decision to leave AJ and go to another team because HE just got a better deal? Not like he won a lot of races last year... Hmmm

Just looking at the other side of the coin...

Didn't all this stuff start right after Englishtown of Al-anabi when I was let go and 5 other pro mod teams.... Everybody does not even know what is going on or how all the teams and drivers have been treated... There will be alot more to come out... Just sit back and watch....

I really don't think this is the case. Totally different situation. JMO

Anybody (besides me) in Indy for IMIS this week? If you were and went to dinner tonight you might be surprised at who was dining with whom. You might even be surprised at who I was having dinner with. There is much going on right now, some that is known (rumored) and some that has not even been mentioned yet.

A lot of you are acting as if Santa will come to your house first if you guess right. Does it really matter to you as much as the time you are investing in this?

FACT! MLR is readying two cars for the upcoming season.

FACT! AJ is readying two cars for the upcoming season.

The rest you will learn in due time, or maybe sooner if you are in Indy and buy me a drink! LOL

If this is true, this really SUCKS! Larry is one of the most like-able drivers in all of NHRA drag racing, always humble and always kind to the fans and other drivers. I've never heard any one say a bad word about him or him say a bad word about someone else. If this does turn out to be true, than I have to agree with post #32 from Paul.

Long, long long time Dixon fan, if true sorry to see him leave. But also was fan of Snake even longer and when LD left had to cheer on his exploits with AJ. Nothing against AJ since he left DSR, but then again the Shoe was one of my favorites in the early 70s. What I'm saying is who do you root for - the car (owner) or driver? I go with Dixon for reasons above and more. Just pure class and a great driver to boot!

Let's see how many combinations we can come up with.

1) AJ and A-A part ways; AJ hooks up with Copart and preps two cars - one for Larry, one for Brandon.

2) MLR punts Langdon, signs Dixon in his place.

3) MLR punts Langdon, signs Bernstein in his place. Brandon and Morgan are close friends.

4) Balooshi and Langdon drive for A-A. This is the flavor of the day but personally, it tastes a little funny. A-A may be fielding two fuelers, all right - in Qatar, taking a couple of X-champs with them. Maybe those two.

5) Melanie could factor in all this somehow. She could drive for AJ, if Bernstein winds up elsewhere.

6) Bernstein and Langdon could both wind up parked, and a couple of currently parked racers (TJ, Hillary, Bazemore, Scelzi, Todd) could step up.

7) Bernstein and Langdon could both wind up parked and we could see two fresh faces join the TF ranks - possibly a couple of TAD standouts.

8) This post could wind up 3 feet long. Your turn.

Alan it's different with us. We choose to follow the sport, you do it for a pay check. The teams/drivers /CC's that we root for interest us. With you it's just a job. Understandable.

As with any athlete/celeberty, their fans are interested in their future. Nothing more-nothing less.

Hillary is driving for Dote next year IRC.

If I recall correctly, Morgan and Todd were close friends also.
As far as Balooshi, nitro is WAY different then the bluesmobile.
