Silly Season

[jgrigz]

It's time to get started with "silly season" with our speculations about 2025! Will Angelle Sampey and Julie Naatas have a top fuel ride for next year? Will Julie end up part of the Scrappers team of will Mike be back in the saddle?

in the spirit of keeping the status quo, i am really hoping JCM can find the funding to do
a full season and beyond with tony and ida, and retaining neff and schaeffer.

Angelle most likely doing 5 races in the back half of the season.

These 2 drivers need to get out and pound the pavement for sponsors if they want a T/F ride next year. If you bring money to the team, you will get the ride. Very few are being paid just because of who they are. Don't sit around thinking the phone is going to ring with a sponsor on the other end of the line. It rarely works that way.

Pretty sure Mike said he's not going to drive the second car, he said he was going to drive something but I don't remember what.

Neff and schaeffer havent done much the last 2 years.

I don't agree. I think Tony has done a lot better this year.

Last year was a disaster,this year was a little better.

 

[Cliff]

Maybe Mike on a P/SM? I'd read that he was interested.

Never heard it said but reading between the lines I think he had open heart surgery.

Most of the news will be crew chiefs.

Mike Salinas ran Monday in Las Vegas. Not sure of his 2025 plans but I know he has always wanted to race against his daughters.

Sounds like Rohn Tobler is going to be back out more next year.

Also should be a new Funny Car for some races at the end of next year. The Leanders brothers are selling their TAFC operation and moving up to nitro at some point in 2025.

I think they already have the money, and that's the plan.

Julie brought sponsors to Randy Meyer's operation and Angelle has found sponsors in the past. Both are champions and I'm sure they are banging on doors.

I'm hoping to see the Bartone/Boggs/Bellemuier team try to inject Nirto next year. That would be a good challenge for them and if anyone can do it Boggs can.
