I think Tony will do very well in 2024.

I saw that on Clay Millican‘s YouTube channel from PRI. Love her, Tony will rock though!

Probably but it’s more the tuner and tune up than the driver!

 

[LoPony]

I think the team is essentially the same, so I predict that he will do comparably as well as Leah. I KNEW he would go to top fueL, despite him saying all year “I’m happy running A/Fuel yadda yadda . Haha.

So if the A/F car was designed for Tony, who will drive it? Would be cool to see Tony drive both.....

Cliff the A/F car is owned by Rich McPhillips.

So will TSR hire away Grubnic or Alan Johnson?
Gotta spend that NASCAR money somewhere…

Why, they were the final round win in Pomona from the championship !! Plus if Tony has reaction times like in the a-fuel car he should be very competitive.

Lyle would have been a great addition for tf

Bummer for Lyle !!

Bummed for Lyle as well. Would've been great. However if the owner says "pick me," well....

Excited to see Tony in the car. Leah had a hole shot loss in Las Vegas that really opened the door for the championship. Tony has been consistently below 0.050 on the tree in the A/FD so if that translates to the TF car, he'll be a player for sure.

 

[Rajunz]

Not to mention Tony has been in pretty much every news outlet on the planet in the last week. No offense, but the majority of TF fans would have said "Lyle Who?".

 

[Nitro Cane]

I wonder how much $$ Lyle would have to bring for that seat ?

 

[Cliff]

A lot.....

 

[none]

Zero.

Here is a pretty interesting YouTube video that they did at the PRI show when they made the official announcement about what they were planning for 2024. About halfway through Leah makes it very clear that she is not pregnant.
