LMAO @ Paul Songas

CompPlus had a teaser on their FB page earlier today:

Holy smokes, big time rumors floating around today. We're checking and following up and as soon as we can separate fact from fiction, we'll pass it on.

Could get interesting.

Do we think the Sheik rolled up the carpet & closed up shop?

 

[I was NITRO BREATH]

im getting a headache

 

[DrRocket]

There are no confirmed rumors about which drivers will replace Del and Larry.

Mebbe it'll be Morgan Lucas.

Oh, wait.........

 

[Chris]

Also heard NHRA going to SPEED, but at this point who the hell knows...

Khalid Al-Balooshi. It was a whisper at Pomona that I didn't take seriously ... then I saw the rumor at DRO which I will slightly take more seriously, but after thinking about it, it makes sense.

 

[glofria]

Darn that Agent 1320, he's at it again. He just wants to steel someone else's thunder.

Could be possible. His dad may of got more involved on yanking his plans out from under him for all teams as his dad did eariler this year.

Also heard NHRA going to SPEED, but at this point who the hell knows...

I would love a quick 1-2 hour show with the same technology, but:

1. I heard alot speed would never consider NHRA
2. It could be factual because a tv schedule has been WAYYYYYY LATE this year.

 

[Rat]

That's what I'm saying. There could be an ounce of truth to this, but I can't imagine Dixon leaving. AJR and Lucas? I see no link except for ex employees. As I said many times, I don't see Alan taking a check, He's made his money, he's not gonna take a check and not run a nitro team, I do not see him wanting out of it.

 

[Buns]

Who knows about this particular rumor but there are some folks privileged to insider information that are saying on twitter that there are so BIG moves coming down the pipes.

We'll see...

 

[Bullard Anderson]

Also heard NHRA going to SPEED, but at this point who the hell knows...

No word of that among those low on the totem pole inside the world headquarters of SPEED in CLT.

 

[Von Halen]

I find it ironic that some of the same people pissing on Morgan Lucas and Brandon Bernstein for seemingly having their rides handed to them by their parents, are such big fans of, and so concerned about this Sheik dude having his allowance potentially taken away.

Hmmm? This is strange, there are no more pictures of the teams at the Al-Anabi racing home page >

I couldn't find any Larry Dixon World Champ or Del Worsham World Champ apparel either.

 

[john]

The only thing I have found out for sure is Al-Anabi still plans on fielding two top fuel teams next season.

I have not been able to get in touch with Larry, but a trusted source tells me they would be very surprised if Larry wasn't one of the drivers.

I expect the team will announce its plans soon, maybe before the end of the week.

So, stand by! LOL.

 

[Dragracer]

Not sure where you looked but there is apparel for both Larry Dixon and Del Worsham on the website.
