[JRX]

Larry Dixon back in Top Fuel would be a great announcement!

[TooTall999]

It didn't sound like Larry had anything lined up yet

 

[JRX]

It appears she is out. Dixon will be in the car the last 3 races of the year for the Dote Family. Charlotte, St. Louis, and Reading.

 

[J]

Sorry but this sucks.

 

[JRX]

Great to see Larry back in the seat...but sad for Hillary.

 

[DrRocket]

This may or may not suck for Hillary. (OK It does, I'll concede that.) But I was never privy to the deal between her and the Dote family. Don't know the details on anything.

So let's be honest and realistic with ourselves here. You're the Dote family. You've got a chance put Larry Dixon in your seat. You're seriously going to turn that down??

 

[Speed1288]

I'm interested in what sponsor he is bringing, if he is it all. Although Larry is one of a handful of drivers that could get a seat just on merit, not money.

 

[PJ]

I hate seeing Drivers buy a seat out from under someone else.

My monday sucked enough as it was, seeing Hillary get bumped makes it worse

X2 maybe kalitta will get her back then she can woop on him lol??

 

[camaro]

isnt she married to Matt Hines ?? ... Put her on a third Harley. Its not Top Fuel, but at least she'll start winning some races

 

[mike]

Well, lets hope he's learned his lesson not to rubbish his crew, like he did on another team.

Something about this deal stinks! But if you wore rose colored glasses - you'd be loving it.
