Not just crew chiefs, members from a countdown crew are shopping their services for next year. At the SEMA show some things will come out but after Pomona things should be more of a silly season than usual.

in the article justin says (to paraphrase) 'things we can control' and 'it was a gut punch for sure' and '2 races and a test session to gel with tommy'
....... yet they could have controlled m. green not leaving until after pomona, but they decided to give him his walking papers immediately.
IMO it seems like they controlled it all just fine :rolleyes: wonder who decided to let him go immediately? nice move. and now j. mcullough left josh's team
effective immediately to go to ashley team ........... a justin / tony stewart matchup in last two races would be a good one
 
Had a long talk last night with a couple of old friends currently on big show teams, if what they said comes true between now and December 15 WOW. A lot of poaching of crew members, drivers, crew chiefs and sponsors. Keep score on a dry mark board the silly season will be busier than it has been in a long time!

This is what Brian Lohnes has been alluding to. PRI should be interesting this year!
 
IMO i still think elite/tsr is the team to watch, not only for their cars, drivers, and sponsors, but i think some sort of
change is coming in how we consume nhra pro drag racing. no clue if i'm right or wrong, or how it might look. jmho.
maybe there will be something new at the top? not just nhra and mission?
i could envision quite a few changes, but throwing names around merely on conjecture is probably not a good thing.
sounds like we'll have a lot to talk about soon :cool:

I love watching and rooting for home town teams like Zizzo Racing and crew, the Creasy family, Chris Karamesines and Luigi Novelli at our home track now WWT. Also can't forget Tim and Daniel Wilkerson.

What's the big deal about Green being told to hit the road? He's the one who decided to change teams. Once he made that decision and relayed that decision to Ashley, I would have been more surprised had he been allowed to remain with Ashley until the end of the season.
And, it's not like drag racing is the only business where this same type of situation has occurred. Far from it. I saw it many times in the transportation business from which I retired.
Would he have stayed 100% focused on his work with Ashley knowing he was moving on after the season?
This makes me want to see Ashley win the championship even more now.

if you are going to release him 2 races from the end while in 2nd place, then that is fine. but if the offer was there to help the team do everything
it could to win the championship, yet you release him, then don't call it a gut punch.
 
Whatever tuning secrets the SAG team had, Mike G already knew them. I get in some other motorsports where the tech is changing hourly and there are future plans being drawn up (think F1), drag racing seems relatively static. Not much to learn in 2 races to take with you.

Keeping him around and blending his replacement in more (if he was not already fully enmeshed in everything Mike G did) would seem like a better plan in a stretch run to a title.

Then again, not uncommon in biz that when you say I am moving, you get the boot, often unceremoniously.
