Does anyone know what's going on at R2B2 Racing? Will Melanie be in a nitro funny car or just the pro mod, since In-N-Out pulled their sponsorship??

 

[Paul]

Melanie is out and is looking for a ride next year.

Funny cars don't skate around nearly as much as Pro mods do!

More power to him, he fronted ALOT of money to give drivers careers and if he can only afford 1 thing, it's time for him to live a possible dream. Troxel will get a ride, so will Preutt

 

[Nunz]

Does that mean Larry Dixon will too?

Well I'm pretty sure he can drive a million times better than Preutt, but Dixon may fall short to a pretty face.

 

[Nunz]

I don't know about a million times. I'm a huge LD fan, but I gotta say both Leah and Melanie have wheeled a variety of badass cars. Remember, while some drivers are better than others, seat time can really help a driver become good. This isn't like many sports, where you have to be genetically gifted to be a superstar.

Well, in the interest of "parity," NHRA lowered the displacement, the turbo size and type, and increased the weight of the turbo Pro Mods for the next racing season. I wonder how much pressure they were under, and from whom, to do all that? I can go along with the smaller engines/heavier car rules, but eh turbo type, size, and manufacturer restrictions (and the ban on any modifications to the turbo) seem a little Draconian. Steve Perry has his work cut out for him, it would appear.

On the other hand, no one has run a Hemi in any of those (turbocharged Pro Mod) cars, that I know of, and there MIGHT be some advantage to that... if NHRA hasn't outlawed them, too...

Time will tell...

I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about Steve Petty.... Steve Perry is a singer, If I'm not mistaken

 

[JON]

Re: Singers. Brian, maybe you were thinking of Katy Petty or Tom Perry and the Heartbreakers ...

 

[daveo]

Your right, I'm old and losing my mind. Forgive me....

Ahem. Troxel and Pruitt aren't genetically gifted?
