Does the below snippet from a 2018 CP article have anything to do with this?

"Rahn Tobler is the “sensei” of professional drag racing.

He has taught some of the best current crew chiefs currently competing in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing.

The sport’s Renaissance man also has taught assistants the cultural and spiritual benefits of hip-hop music and fine wine.

Walk into his office/lounge in one of the NAPA AUTO PARTS technology trailers in the pit area this weekend at Norwalk, Ohio, and you’ll hear the beat of hip-hop artists from NWA, Dre, Tupac or anything old school."

I posted on the other rumor thread here that my bet is Tobler tuning Prock.

 

[Just Paul]

Lol....It has everything to do with it.

I have a picture of that faux national dragster cover they made a few years back with Jimmy and Rahn somewhere. Man that was funny.

When was the last time Tobler tuned a dragster? I remember a short stint with Morgan Lucas after his time with Kalitta. There aren’t too many crew chiefs with championships tuning both.

I figured as much but I'm not savvy enough to know who he's talking about.

Lol...Morgan Lucas. Multiple national event wins and top 3 finishes with Doug Kalitta. The quickest 1/4 mile run in history and yeah not many crew chiefs, just him and that Dale Armstrong guy. He'll be alright...lol.

Respected Crew Chief Tobler Selected To Right Ship At Morgan Lucas Racing

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (April 5) -- Top Fuel driver Morgan Lucas has hired three-time champion tuner Rahn Tobler as crew chief of his Lucas Oil dragster. Tobler spent the last three years heading Doug Kalitta's operation and tuned the standout Pro to 14 national event wins and two second-place finis...

I’m not sure the year and how long it was but I didn’t think it was for more than a hiccup. Yes, he will be fine and probably be a top qualifier right out of the gate.

Edit: I find it sad how I can ask an innocent question, get no response to that, but always have someone try to take what I said out of context and be an ass. Worse yet when you show them they are wrong, they just ignore it.

Didn't Shirley win a Championship with Tobler?

 

[Pete]

Prock, Tobler...too easy Bobby

 

[T.Smith]

Didn't Shirley win a Championship with Tobler?

How about 2.

 

[Gone Dead Train]

How about 2.

Does this count. Rahn was a crew member in1977 when Shirley won her first World Championship.
Remember seeing this car at the 1977 NHRA Fallnationals Seattle. Holy crap check out the faces in
the crowd. Can you say Lengends!

 

[Dragracer]

Prudhomme...

 

[Rajunz]

Lol...Morgan Lucas. Multiple national event wins and top 3 finishes with Doug Kalitta. The quickest 1/4 mile run in history and yeah not many crew chiefs, just him and that Dale Armstrong guy. He'll be alright...lol.

You forget.....Leonard Hughes, the first Crew Chief to ever pull it off, many years before Armstrong!

Oh geez, yup forgot about Leonard Hughes...nice catch!

 

[Prestaged]

I believe Lee Beard did it as well, with Ormsby and Cruz.

I posted on the other rumor thread here that my bet is Tobler tuning Prock.

Confirmed this morning by JFR on Facebook.....Prock to be tuned by Joe Barlam and Rahn Tobler.
