I grew up in that world so it’s cool to see his name brought up.

 

[mikebcurve]

It just hit me……..he has had a strong relationship with Red Bull in the past. Let the rumors begin, lol.

 

[Butch]

He's trashed about every 4 wheel vehicle that he's raced. I just hope he survives a TF ride. I remember when he started in MX

 

[Mike]

Next monday at Z-Max

I’m surprised that he’s not going to be in Leah’s dragster with the Hoonigan connection.

Hmmm, never thought of that. Maybe that’s in the cards down the road.

[Cliff]

I wanna know if he will jump a T/F car over a ramp, or maybe across the water or something really cool like that.

 

[Jack]

Very cool! I'll be really excited when I hear he has the money together to actually get out there and compete. There are a lot of talented people who have a nitro license, who are just spectators these days.

 

[Notch1320]

He's driving Scott Palmer's car.

 

[Chili]

Sounds like it is nothing more than a bucket list thing. Maybe he will get the nitro bug and it can become something more.

Well that lessened my enthusiasm. Hey you never know.

 

[Michalek Brothers Racing]

I'll be there documenting it on Monday. If that quote from him in DI article is true about him "never being around one" before, this should be an eye-opening experience for him. Looking forward to it!

Travis did make a pass in Ruby last year....

 

[BaldyLochs]

Well that’s always good when new people are headed “over here”. Seems like he certainly has the kind of resources to play the game.

 

[mick]

you never know what could happen. when tony stewart was a guest of dsr at indy back in '17? or '18?, did anyone see 2-car owner coming?
IMO it's kind of a big deal getting pastrana to lap a TF'r. i think this could be the start of something. what exactly i'm not sure.

 

[n/a]

He'll learn very quick that Top Fuelers are NOT drift friendly.

 

[Huge]

I have always been a big Pastrana fan and love that he is going to makes some laps in Palmer's car. Hey Scott, make sure he doesn't remove the parachutes when you are not looking.

 

[Cliff]

Well, if he can drift, I think he'll pick up on peddeling pretty quick.

 

[qualified17th]

Hey Scott, make sure he doesn't remove the parachutes when you are not looking.

Probably wouldn't matter, the shutdown area there is about 14 miles long. Been to every national event there since 2010 or so and I don't recall ever seeing a single car make it to the beach at zMax
