"Just show me the way to the turbocharger!"

Now, THAT would be cool! Fuel cars with turbos?!? I'm all in!

I say Gary Scelzi will stay to tune the Army car instead of drive.. It's a big cover up.



Just take a look at this.

Take it easy on me, not serious

I will not ruin your fun. let the speculation continue

Shoe more that likely had Bob Frey throw that bit of "WOW Factor" into the conversation just to see how it would spin up on the NITROMATER!

They're glued to their computer moniters laughing at this stuff!

You know I was about to post the same thing. Gary steps down from racing, AGAIN, to spend more time with the family And work at the family business, AGAIN...HEY!!! he was going to do that last year...I think he would be the perfect person to tune the Army car. Gary knows Don, Don likes to win, Gary likes to win...I think it would be magical and a definate WOW!!!

I will give my opinion on a real good tuner who I think would maybe need a few races to adjust to the AJ style tune up.
I think Doug Kuch from Dou Foley's car would be a good choice. He always has Doug's runing in the top five for low ET's of the rounds.
He has come to Terry Mcmillian's IHRA car and has made that car the best running car in IHRA right now.
Would be a real good story.
Adios,

Sure they are, If yer winning you don't show your cards. Doesn't mean it's illegal, just new or different. Remember the KB's "towell"??

Actually that was Gary Ormsby's "Terrible Towel"... (with Lee Beard as crewchief)

Hi Don! Your post brings a couple lines from and old poem to mind that Agatha Christie used as an intro to one of her novels: "Round and Round and Round we go, but the secret sits in the center and knows"

 

[BlueStangGT]

OK, I'll play.

How about Tom Conway?

 

[bukweet]

Dale Pulde?

Mark Oswald?

Both would be capable.





I'm old. Doesn't take much for a WOW, now.

No, Big Zappy is correct. They used it on the Tempo or the Buick Reatta w/Armstrong as crew chief.

.. I can't believe that DSR didn't have enough $$$$$$ to keep AJ. Don't try and even tell me that place isn't a Gold Mine!!!!

Sometimes, it's not all about the money...it could be about the new challenge.

just my 2 cents.

 

[Potknot]

Chuck Worsham?!!?​

They both had one....

KB's was some sort of speical fuel meter device from what I was told- It was called the "terrible towel". I remember a run that KB had just raced Oswald, and when they pulled off the track and parked next to eachother, KB came up through the hatch and made sure the body did not come up.


Ormsbys on the other hand, was nothing more then...a towel! They did it to make people think they had something attatched to the throttle that would improve reaction times, when in fact, they were not hiding anything, at least not where the towel was.

I cannot keep it a secret any longer ... it is going to be me.

Everyone in the pits would go "WOW! Who the hell is that guy?"

My plan is to sit in the trailer, stare at the computer screen as long as possible, say as little as possible and try to look like what I know I am doing. I figger I could keep up the charade for 10 ... maybe even 15 minutes!

 

[Big Sexy]

Hey Don-

I am available....

The terrible towel was a mis-direct on kenny's tempo, about '84... believe there was a single timer under it... the real stuff was happening elsewhere on the car.
