Explain why Fast Jack hasn't become the dominant FC this year. His only change is hopefully his underwear. Lol

Recap for the last 10 years:
JFR - 4
DSR - 3
Ron Capps Motorsports - 1
TSR - 1
Kalitta Motorsports - 1
So JFR with 4 wins was/is still a force in funny car racing

Sure it is. But being A force and THE force aren't the same. Considering the changes and other circumstances regarding JFR that's certainly understandable. Hight gone, Procks gone, Brittany retired, JF nearly killed last year and the recent loss of his daughter. Right now the one bright star at JFR was the smart decision to hire Vandergriff.

Jimmy & family will get it. Remember how long it took Alan Johnson to get the Kalitta cars running well.

Is this the only team Tasca is fielding this year?I am not up on this as i should be.

Nothing matters until the crapdown starts in Reading

i can never remember what nhra's rules are on testing?

Nascar has restrictions but seems like Nhra teams will test on Monday after a event anytime.

I think years ago, NHRA had restrictions on testing, in an attempt to reduce costs. I think that rule was done away with quite a few years back.

I figured it might take until the western swing for them to get the car turned around, which is plenty of time with the countdown. If they did come out of the gate with the same success they had at JFR it would have been unreal. This transition seems for lack of a better word, normal.

Side note; it is surprising that Jack is seemingly doing the least right now of the JFR funny cars.

 

[cpr]

You mean Martin?

 

[LoPony]

I, for one, have enjoyed watching the progress from struggles very much to struggle less. Can imagine that soon they will be back in the thick of it. Jimmy P. is no amateur. He’ll figure it out.

 

[timebombkal]

Prock's got this, They will be back in the thick of things very soon

 

[Nunz]

Someone here made a great point; remember how long it took AJ to find success at the Kalitta camp? Now look at that team.

 

[aakar]

The longer the Procks take, the more lethal they will become

 

[Butch]

I'm surprised they aren't doing more testing, or are they doing it behind the curtains. Seems to be expensive trying to learn at a national race.

Before we left they were prepping the Adel track on Monday morning then the Prock's were heading the the starting line .

Reading, huh?

 

[TooTall999]

KARMA!

 

[Trey Darnell]

The cash is there but every team has problems with inventory at times. They started with the new car at the end of the season when everyone is low. And as we saw and they also said themselves their was a wait for new parts.

Is it ultimately a production problem?
