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.

Just when things were going well....
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!

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.
