silly season continues

Shhh! Sacrifice is a trigger word for Gen Z and Millenials!

And work

I said 10 months ago tariffs were already effecting some teams. Of course what I said was poo-pooed by some. Oh well, Paul should just suck it up and find another way.

 

[stitcherbob]

Given the Charlie Kirk pic Paul had on the roof is his car (until the body was destroyed) my guess is he voted for Trump. Now Trump’s tariffs have impacted his racing, I wonder if he regrets his vote (assuming he voted for Trump), or if he feels it’s worth it given what else Trump is doing?

I don't think that the other side views cars, fuel of any kind, racing, and creating smoke as part of their green agenda, so I go with who won't ruin my way of life.... and I know that if they wanted to ban Nitromethane completely we could talk to the current president and get somewhere instead of being shown the door

Take your political remarks elsewhere.........

You said it. Gas is 2.29 in Central Texas.

Speak for yourself.

 

[Just Paul]

I know anything is possible, but Kalitta just let Todd Smith go a year ago to bring Dickie in. You think he'd go back?

Well.. It's official. He did go back.

Has there been any OFFICIAL announcement on where the Prock's are going or what their plans are for next year ??

Jan 15th at the Ford Racing launch event.

 

[Nitro Cane]

Ok Thanks

 

[Nitro Cane]

I guess that’s a hint of where there are headed

Why that really doesn't matter, it's been proven all that is needed to make a Mustang into a Camaro is a windshield sticker.

I'm clueless, where are they headed?

 

[Burnnitro1320]

Wait, they still run Ford's in Funny Car??

Here is what was posted in another thread a few weeks ago "On January 15, 2026, Ford Motor Company, through its newly rebranded Ford Racing division, will launch its global racing season in Detroit at the iconic Michigan Central Station, coinciding with the Detroit Auto Show, where they'll debut a new Formula 1 power unit partnership with Red Bull and reveal a secretive, high-performance "production road car" inspired by racing, fueling speculation about a new GT, Mustang variant, or even a 1000hp off-road supercar, in addition there will be a significant announcement concerning Ford Motor Company and NHRA drag racing." - Recent speculation is the Tasca/Prock announcement, rumor has Jimmy tuning BT3 and Thomas tuning Austin as well as Ford replacing Toyota as a body supplier. Those involved aren't talking so we all must wait until January 13, 2026.

During PRI, Erica Enders made a comment on the NHRA livestream that made me think that it may be only a one car team with Prock driving. I’m hoping I’m wrong because we need more cars on tour.

I don't see Tasca spending all that money to get the Prock's just so he can sit and watch.

Where have you been? Tasca, Wilkerson, and Green (plus others) all run Mustangs, and have for many years.

From what I’ve heard it will start with Prock driving one car then bring out a second one for Tasca later on. But time will tell if that’s correct or not.

My comments did not make it back here so here goes, as much as i can remember. Tasca is going to be at the big Ford gala, Red Bull is going to launch their 2016 F1 car their. F1 car premiers are a huge deal for them, they all put on big shows, not just pushing the car out the door of the factory. If Tasca is going to be part of that sounds like Ford might be stepping a bunch, cannot wait.
