The Pedregon Bro's

if he is such a 'difficult' person, don't you think
john would have been happy to see him go?

Well--you think hes the same person when he just has to show up with his helmet+ drive + collect a paycheck as when ,as he puts it, "have to go into the boardroom to try to get money to pay the bills?"

I seem to remember-before poverty struck even--that they were on "the crew chief of the month" plan.

it was kurt elliot... snap on did increase sponsorship but i think its on the smaller end of the spectrum and cruz took it sso he didnt have to park

I take no delight from the fact that the Brothers are struggling this year.

Sometimes I really like them, then, they do or say something that pi**es me off.

Fact is, Professional Drag Racing is a small business and anybody in a small business these days can probably relate to the pressures and struggles ANY of these teams are having right now.

I'm happy to see ANY team out-there, mixing-it-up, and hoping for a good weekend.

Can't wait to see 24 and 32 car qualifying days again!

yes - he is the same person; he was given arguably the best seat in FC
and even won a championship in it; but he wanted to sign his own paychecks;
he was driven to compete on his own dime, the same way he is driven to
make changes as he sees fit to run his team.

like jim said, drag racing is a small business; employers and employees.......
one is harder than the other.

Does it occur to anyone there might be a reason for the revolving crew chiefs? Like they're both hard to work for!

This is what I heard. Cruz is a ball buster as an owner...Tony not as bad...Tony's issues stem more from money issues. Cruz has had a revolving door at all levels ever since he went out on his own...

I'm not a fan of either of them due to how they handle their business end of racing and those that have done work for them.

no, it hasn't occured to me at all - what has occured to me is that the
two brothers are presently struggling financially to remain on the circuit
and do the best they can with what they've got in order to persevere
towards hopeful better financial times in the future; if that means high
turnover for employee/s right now, then so be it.
i have not met the pedregon brothers; i do not know their personalities.
what i do know is pro nitro fc is better with them than without them.

did it ever occur to you pat; why was john force so upset to see tony
break out on his own? if he is such a 'difficult' person, don't you think
john would have been happy to see him go? or released him himself?

touchie...touchie Mike
Does the end really justify the means
Couldn't pay me enough to do work for either one anymore
