So, what happened to...........

[Jack]

The Dupont/Mayweather/Hart top fuel team?.lots of talk last year on a full season for Maurice and a probable second car for his son. Haven't heard a word about this from anyone so far this year.

I asked the same question at the Pomona event.

thought he was going to run a couple this year then fulltime next year?

Maybe the same thing that bit a lot of other hopefuls.... $$$$$$$$$

I never actually expected them to run regularly. Floyd's NASCAR team is notorious for saying they're gonna do something and then never actually doing it.

They were sitting in the pits all alone at Pomona for the season opener asking “where is everyone?”

Floyd has nothing to do with that team is mainly a marketing agreement to use the name.

During his interviews at the end of last season, the plans he described for the next 5 years certainly would necessitate Floyd type money. Would love to see even some of it come to fruition.

How about…whatever happened to Tripp Tatum?! That team was pretty impressive in Pheonix last year, then won Gainesville and practically no races after that. Figured I’ve parked it due to lack of funds, but did his crew chief find a new home?

I don't think funding is the issue. Tripp's been pretty successful and has deep pockets, so he was/is capable of paying for most of it himself, much like Salinas and Chad Green
