The Blake and Jim show

[Custom Body Fan]

I kind of enjoy his interviews. He shows his emotions

I agree. You never know what mood he’ll be in or what he is going to say. I like it!

The carbon body with gold lettering looks totally badass, all business, no nonsense

100%

It's good for the class to have two more quality cars (Lee and Alexander). Now, if we can get Blake some media training...

Media training makes for talk show interviews not race track interviews.

ever since john force got together with johnny lindberg in phoenix maybe half a dozen or so years ago? head was running solara bodies
then i think? if memory is correct, didn't john force give them a mustang body? and i believe jim has been running the mustang body ever since.
noticed that his mustangs this year are still the older style mustang mold. there a lot of mustangs running today, almost to the point of wondering
if it is the most manufactured FC body available today?
if you were going pro FC racing tomorrow, is the ford or dodge more prevalent? any difference in cost?
wondering about this carbon fiber livery head had in vegas. since the explosion in sonoma, there seems to be two bodies used. one with white front and head inc. paint,
and the blue and white pronto body. which livery will show at the finals? head paint? pronto wrap? carbon fiber? or schaeffler wrap?

According to Brian and Tony on the broadcast, the show ended today at Pomona. Assuming Blake still has the Pronto money, I wonder where he is going?

Wow, that is a surprise, considering this may have been Jim's most successful season ever. Maybe Jim just doesn't like winning? I wonder if they had a falling out.

 

[none]

I think Pronto is done

 

[J]

That sucks,such a good year too. Maybe jim wants to cut back??

[I was NITRO BREATH]

Just when things were going well....

Blake mentioned in Vegas there was something coming up but wouldn't tell what it was.

 

[J]

He said on his fb see ya next year so maybe head is cutting back,he is 75 yo

 

[mick]

the show goes on. big names we've seen for almost our entire lifetime, sooner or later exit the stage.
new performers are waiting in the wings to take their spot ....... i hope jim is not done. maybe he is? IMO blake is just getting started.

I'm guessing it's more of a personal decision on Blake's part. Who knows - if Jack Beckman opts out of driving for JFR (assuming John won't be driving), Blake might be a suitable replacement. JFR has first-rate media relations people; they can whip introverted and sometimes sourpuss Alexander into shape if need be.

Jack will definitely be back if JFR asks. He made a comment on the show-John the answer for 2025 is yes!

Doesnt sound good for hight

I was just thinking that after Blake left Vandergriff’s top fueler he started his own funny car team, then ended up joining Head. Wonder if he will start up another team? Pronto would have to provide some serious $$$.

I hope you're right. I wish Alexander the best but Jack Beckman is a class act in every way.
