That is one Bada$$ looking Funny car! It’ll be good to see what Will can do with more funding this season.

Good for Tim. He's a great guy and I'm happy for him. Maybe he'll be able to play golf with us this year.

what a great move for wilk and joe ...... FC livery should have 'zero-turn' somewhere.
wonder if LRS and SCAG will share primary sponsorship over 21 races?

Great news! I remember Tim saying he was working on something for 2023.

 

[Butch]

I hope it works better for Tim then his last time he opened the door for partnership.

Seems like good news but I wonder if he lost most of his funding for 23 and had no choice.

I think Scag will be on the car in the markets where they have larger sales. i expect we will see LRS at the primary in Phoenix, Vegas and maybe even Denver because that is an important market for LRS.

Maybe Zippy will give time some help as well.

I am not sure how well known this is but when I met Tim at the last event run at National Trails we talked about sponsors. He told me that LRS was a high school friend(s) that made it big and decided to help Tim live his dream. Maybe they decided to scale back.

I think I’ve read that before. I believe Tim mentioned in an interview last year Dick Levi wanted to scale back his involvement.

This is great news for Tim who's certainly paid his dues after 27 years in the Fuel Funny Car class. He deserves this, truly one of the "good guys". Hope he finally wins a long overdue championship.

has been discussed before but can't remember the answer/s........who's making mustang bodies? is tasca/boat builder still doing molds? other molds and who owns them?
is ford involved in the nhra mustang body program beyond tasca?........ wondering if ford is involved here to any extent?

 

[TSK]

If anybody has earned additional sponsorship, it’s Tim Wilkerson.
He has certainly paid his dues.
He’s the one driver I believe everybody, fans and competitors alike, pulls for.

Roush makes the new mustang bodies and is the only supplier. The Force mustang body supply is used up. Ford does help Tim some (not nearly like Tasca) but I don't know about this year.

 

[ZWeinstein]

I am super happy for Tim to get some more funding and am excited to see what he can do with that funding. He has always done so much with so little.

I remember when Force was still running with Ford (a long time ago). If Tim was advancing in the finals and had a catastrophic failure even if they were facing each other in the next round Force gave him whatever he needed.

in typical wilk fashion, tim said on nhra.com video interview just the other day, 'winning at all costs, is not really winning' and went on to say that he will operate
the car no differently than previous years........would you expect otherwise
