[I was NITRO BREATH]

the most talented driver working today. force should hire her to drive the dragster. then he wouldnt need AJ

That's an interesting thought.
Given the closeness and consistency, don't you think the DRIVER is more of a key factor in Pro Stock than in the fuel classes? I do.

She was also in the rankings in a neat concept ESPN Women did for the best women in Sports with Marvel. Did the NHRA website have this? Fantastic! http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/14272243/espnw-marvel-create-super-impact25-heroes

jim- if you look at the stats for the force car from last yr. it looks like the driver lost more rnds than the crew chief. if brittany was better on the lights they would have [ probably] won races. Antron was very good on the lights. it made a difference. so, theoretically erica could excel in top fuel

That's cool, Steve! Glad you caught that or I would have missed it. NHRA should be all over that....choosing one of our champions as a bona fide Superhero! Seems that would be a really neat way to promote the upcoming season and possibly appeal to a new group of viewers...

I love how you guys don't read the NHRA website, then bash them for not covering things like this.......

Just for the record, Alan, I wasn't bashing NHRA for not covering it. I was suggesting that it was the kind of thing that could (should) be expanded upon for some really good press possibilities and appeal to a potentially new audience. I DID read the website, and was writing this as an intended corollary to that article, not a bash on it. But I AM glad to hear that you still love us!

I think it's a combination, having said that if you can't qualify in the Top 3-4 every race, safe to say your not going to win many races! Can't rely on Holeshots every race to win a championship

Did not intend to invite the fuse brothers. I said I did not know I'm my post. Ever forward.
