Tony was very honest during his discussion with Dave.
1. I got the impression that IF there is another DSR top fueler next year, it will not be a team funded by another person and "managed" by DSR.
2. He seemed VERY confident that they can set a National ET record at Pomona - gaining 20 points on Doug. Of course, the record is not final until the end of the event, so this could get very interesting! Tony gains 5 points on Doug in qualifying, goes one more round (or defeats Doug in the final) and sets the record on the final run. We then have . . . a tie! FIRE 'EM UP!!!
3. Tony on the new points system - I have to agree with him that the new system could not produce a more exciting end to the TF season. He made a great call in saying that the fans will decide if the new system will be a success.
Great interview - including a huge amount of respect for Doug and the Kalitta team.
