[Fueler1]

I think both of them are

 

[Butch]

They are.

 

[mick]

those 3 guys know a lot of ch*t. wouldn't be surprised if we see them again this fall.

 

[you]

Interesting. From Jim O and John O to Todd O.

 

[LoPony]

Hmmm. I predicted this Wendland move, and many of us saw it coming. Let’s see how it looks tomorrow during qualifying.

 

[Butch]

Chris, about the only way it could be any worse than before is, it won't even start or move. Lol

 

[Dnl_t4r]

I guess we’ll “officially” find out tomorrow?

 

[LoPony]

Chris, about the only way it could be any worse than before is, it won't even start or move. Lol

Well, you’re right about that….

This is very puzzling, their performance over the last couple of races. I would never believe that Jim and John O + Nicky couldn’t turn a top fueler.There’s something going on that we’re not understanding, and probably never will.

Indeed! WTF is up with all this ? Makes no sense.

 

[Butch]

I don't see why it would matter, but last I heard All the used engines went back to the in-house engine shop that was also doing the NASCAR Engines. That is were they got a complete rebuild. Also remember that every engine was a one run engine, getting replaced every run.

I haven't been involved in a long time. Does the engine placement get determined by the customer or the chassis builder.
Just seems crazy how one team can have everything going wrong.

Didn't Tony do better before he went with RWR?

One of the great mysteries of professional motorsports.

 

[CS]

Part of the "magic" is in the bellhousing it will be interesting to watch Rob's results at this race and next. Was it the tune-up, the pipe or who's doing the clutch. Any bets on the number of rear ends RWR booms this weekend?

 

[mick]

chuck seyler, i agree, the two rwr TF'rs will be the most watched and analyzed for next few races. all of us would love to
hear what the new crew guys see, change, or stay the same, but highly unlikely any of that info will become public.
i wish them well. i love rick ware's involvement in nhra TF, and want him to succeed; for himself, his teams, and sponsors.
...... has it been determined what the rear end problems were? there was mention of the ring and pinion gears metallurgy,
but don't know if that was the end-all answer or not?
