So why did Tobler leave the Kalitta team anyways, I thought he was happy there?
He didn't leave he was forced out.

Roughest, crudest, greasiest dudes in the pit? What the f*ck is that? Have you ever met any of them? You obviously have NO class! I hope you have a huge hemoroid flare up and you name it after me!!!!!

Sorry Suzie,,,,it was just too easy to let go!!
If you really want to know, feel free to ask Connie!
If anyone is going to ask Connie, please let me know as I want to watch!!!
The old problem of too many women in the pit area , only room for Ms Shirley and friends . Someone had to go.
No new girl friends allowed in the area.
I guess there is more room over at the Lucas trailer for Rahn & friends..
l've emailed the following questions to Connie, l'm waiting for his reply!!
Could l ask you a few questions?
Why did Rahn Tobler leave the Kalitta camp?
Did Forrest Lucas offer him more money?
l've heard rumours that Rahn had been seeing another woman and Shirley had found out, is this true?
Is it OK to put your reply onto the http://www.nitromater.com/ drag racing forum?
Thank you

John,
My son is with the Kalitta team also. This is the fourth team that he has been with and he is 21. He worked with his Grandfather on Wilkerson's team since age 10, helped me when I was with Haddock, and worked for Scott Weis. In all those years, he worked hard, learned his jobs, and became a great young man. He has survived cancer, completed college and has now been given the opportunity to be a part of a thoroughly professional team. If you see oil on the ground, grease crew members, etc., it's probably due to blowing a very expensive engine that they are trying to clean up. If you hear cussing, it is probably due to burning themselves on hot metal, or getting sprayed with brake cleaner in their faces. I can assure you that every crewmember on every team is well aware that there are kids watching them. They do their best to perform their duties with class and to show the utmost respect to the fans. All that they ask for is a little respect back. The Kalitta team has long been known for being one of the top teams in NHRA. This was earned, not given just because Conrad has been around for a long time. I don't know the exact time frame that you are referring to, but it is possible that my brother Terry was Scott's crew chief at the time you spoke about. I can assure you that he also expects professionalism of his crew members at all times. I'm hope that next time you see them in the pits, you will take the time to observe them carefully. I think you will see what I mean. By the way, if you happen to have any small kids with you after the races, almost any team will try to have a small souvenir to give away to them for free.
I know that we all have favorite teams, in fact I have many. I hope that my teams do well as everyone does. I don't degrade other teams or their crew members. One "bad" experience should not be used for your final judgement. I'm sorry I've rambled on.

John, are you a scooper for the National Enquirer..or what's the BBC equivalant..oh yea..all of 'em?Shirley Muldowney filed for divorce from Rahn Tobler in late 2006, if their divorce has been made final, then Rahn seeing another woman shouldn't concern Shirley.
Shirley is in the Kalitta camp as she is currently is mentoring Top Fuel driver Hillary Will.
