I think he will be driving a Tesla body next year....lol

That would be shocking

 

[56Larry]

Ron will drive a Fiat in 2022.






At the March Meet!

Con switches to a top fuel dragster.

 

[zippy]

If I'm a sponsor and anybody named Con comes asking for money, champion or not seems like a red flag....hypothetically speaking

 

[Usual password less 1]

Toyota may be a possibility

 

[Ramjet]

Complete hypothetical situation.

A guy named Con Rapps just won the Championship driving a Hudson.
Con started his own team. He is keeping the team intact and figures to be a Championship contender for years to come.
Con has not announced what make of car he will drive.
Hudson has announced that they are backing a different new team that they have a relationship with, but could still be with Con.
Con has talked to Edsel, Duesenberg and others who might want to be involved.
No formal announcement, yet.

Con has the Championship to sell.
Con could tell Hudson: "I need X dollars to stay with you." (Remember Hudson already committed $$ to another team)
Con could tell Edsel or Duesenberg: sponsor me for X dollars, and you can tell people "The Champ drives a Edsel!" (Or Duesenberg)

What do you do if you are Con?
What do you do if you are Edsel or Duesenberg?

Strictly hypothetical......
Alan

The first thing I would do (Hypothetically) would be to find out which Edsel has the best Aero advantage and see if they would agree to that one. Would it be the
Edsel Citation - Edsel Corsair - Edsel Pacer - Edsel Ranger - Edsel Bermuda - Edsel Villager - Edsel Roundup or the Edsel Comet (concept). If they agreed on the Comet (Concept) I would ask them if I could wear my Face Mask at all times when at the track and NO personal appearances without the Face Mask. Next thing is could you help me get the body through NHRA because I don't know how to make it a 2021 or 2022 at this point.

 

[Cliff]

Roger, what ya need to do is to go to Ford & tell them to re-name the Ford Ranger as the Edsel Ranger. Then get NHRA to declare a truck legal for F/C or P/S. And away ya go....

pretty sure napa came on board with dsr in 2007. now signing new 3 yr. deal with newly formed RCM to extend relationship to 17 years. love it.

 

[Nitro Cane]

Maybe I missed it. Did Capps announce a body manufacturer ?

 

[Paul]

He posted pictures from the shop and I see nothing but Dodges.

 

[mick]

i'm wondering if ron/guido are looking for someone to share info with? or just run their own deal?

 

[mgty3whlr]

I highly doubt it, they pretty much have their $hit together.

 

[glofria]

Ron may have dropped a big hint yesterday on his Facebook page

Hudson Hornet, Twin H Power to the front!!

Eye Popping eBay Find: This 1958 Edsel Bermuda Wagon Is Peak 1950s Coolness - BangShift.com

We’ve all heard the topes involving Edsel. They were ugly, they were a failure, they had a grill that people laughed out of town and were embarrassed to be seen sitting behind. There are so many people have written books about the brand. But here’s the thing. Looking at this 1958 Edsel Bermuda...

Possible Roger Gates flopper......

Interesting interview with Ron at the top end today. Maybe waiting on Toyota bodies to be made?

 

[Dragracer]

Was interesting when it was mentioned that Capps is "LEASING" his equipment from Schumacher and he said he was also looking for another manufacturer.

 

[Cliff]

Those Toyota bodies are slick. Would be cool to see Capps in one.

 

[megadeth]

He will drive whatever he can afford! LOL
He is leasing his car trailer etc from Don Schumacher. Napa is funding him and I’m sure that’s what he uses to spend! He is like all the other independents. Nothing wrong with it but it makes him a renter not owner.

HE OWNS THE TEAM, whether he leases the stuff or buys it. Give it a break.
