New Generation won't get this.... (13 Viewers)

The Bounty Hunter has built one heck of a one-two punch of Top Fuel cars.

(side note) My favorite episode of Miami Vice was "Smuggler's Blues." The title song is still one of my favorites. The late Glenn Frey from Eagles starred.

But it has taken them quite a few years to get where they are today. Recall that when they brought AJ on board to tune Doug's car, there was not overnight improvement. Also the 2nd team car (Langdon's) was tuned by Connie for years, so was always inconsistent. It wasn't until they brought Husen in (I think he is the tuner for Langdon's car) that his car started performing as good or sometimes better than Doug's car.

Still wonder what will happen to that operation when Connie dies. I sure hope they have an endowment in place (to augment the sponsorships) for the 3 teams to continue for many more years.

Nobody said the team’s success happened overnight.
Part of the building process requires figuring out who fits best.
That’s what Connie has done as team leader. He brought in somebody else to tune Langdon’s car.
Hiring AJ was the first step in the process with Doug’s car. It even took AJ a bit to get everything figured out. But, look at where that team is now.
Sometimes, successful leaders come to realize they may not be the best person for the job. A good leader puts their emotions aside and finds the best person for the job.
I’d say Connie has done that for both teams.

Hire people smarter than you in their field and listen to them. That's what smart leaders do
