When you donate something, you give up the ownership rights. Not saying that'll happen, but...

Jasmine Salinas says she will be racing 12 events next year but hoping to get more added. Also it is possible that she gets a nitro funny car license in the near future.

I would think some of those races would be at the green tracks.

That color is pretty close to Darana tracks

If she has a sponsor that wants exposure, they won't be going to the green tracks that match your pom poms.

I thought most of what is in the museum was donated to the museum? That would be pretty ****** to then turn around and auction everything off and pocket the money.

I'd hope most of that stuff was "on loan" so whoever loaned it can get it back or move it elsewhere.

was really hoping ida zetterström would have something big to announce, but yesterday she talked about
more announcing and a MAYBE on driving next year. IMO she would be an awesome spokesperson.
still tough to find that money when you don't have a huge pocket full yourself.

I kinda get the impression that JCM isn't really motivated to help get sponsorship. Look how long it took Tony to get back out on the track.

In a different time she would be in a full time ride. Too many short TF fields now, hope she can somehow hit the lottery.

2026 going to be interesting

when ron was in carlyle livery this last weekend, i was wondering if that was a hint to press release.
wonder who's gonna' tune? .02 guess, mike neff

My guess is Rob Flynn

 

[mick]

My guess is Rob Flynn

ok, so far we've got neff, douglas, and flynn as guesses ...... how about two of them go to carlyle TF'r team together?
there aren't that many TF'rs out there running right now.

Yes Sir, that's it as of now. It's tough. We are in such a good place with the car, it's frustrating. However, we do greatly appreciate the support we get from our marketing partners. They've have allowed us over the years to live our dreams. We just need to figure out how to expand our budget.

 

[Butch]

Curious as to what it would cost for you to run at Norwalk? I sure can't afford it all but it would be cool if several people could pool enough $$ for your team to attend.

So this is the last day of SEMA. Everybody must be waiting till today to release all the earth shattering news we’ve been hearing about.

 

[Sherman, Sherm, & Sherm Gun]

Why is SEMA such a "big deal" this year? Racers don't give two craps about that dog and pony show. PRI has always been the "BREAKING NEWS" event for us.

SEMA isn't the SEMA of yesterday

Ya I’m not sure. And I’m not sure why we have to wait for a swap meet to issue press releases.

A lot. That car has just about what everyone else has.
