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.

Actual cost associated with bein a single team testing?

Bob Tasca and family owns Tasca Automotive Group, 39 Ford dealerships in the northeast. Wouldn't think money is a problem. They should be testing, it's a brand new team.

TASCA Auto Group owns a total of 39 dealerships selling Audi, Kia, Ford, Lincoln, Volkswagen, Volvo, Dodge, Jeep, Subaru, Buick, Chevrolet, Collision, Mazda, Chrysler, Cadillac, FIAT, GMC, Hyundai, Toyota and RAM models. The dealerships are in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Florida and Missouri. They may not be testing because some parts are in limited supply due to manufacturers cutting back on inventory due to the economy, the war and other economic considerations. Just the same I hope the KARMA continues for a few more months.

It looks like they are starting to figure it out.

The problem never was that the Procks aren't the 'real deal'; it was Austin's attitude at the first of the year when the team was adjusting. People remember him throwing tantrums - and things- when he would lose. People watched him assault the pit Tahoe. Listened to him blame the NHRA for poor track prep and told fans who dared to criticize him to lump it ("They don't know anything anyway"). And at that time there was still quite a bit of resentment, deserved or not, regarding the Procks hauling ass over to Tasca with little or no notice to JFR.

What all of that accomplished is turning more than a few people from patiently waiting for Prock to adjust to the new team, different parts and such to rooting for them to go out in the first round. A bit of a crapping in their own cook kit scenario. But if you'll notice, Austin has calmed down, no longer goes ape if he loses and the performance level is slowly but steadily moving towards back where it was in the JFR days. And that's a good thing. The sport needs Tasca and it needs the Procks.

You have very good points, not supporting his antics, he did make out to be spoiled and ungrateful as well as disrespectful to his sponsors, I’m just tired of everyone wanting them to fail, I don’t know why they left JFR, until and when if Jhon and the Procks wanted to be public about it, it’s there business and when people make assumptions and condemn them to fail not knowing the facts are the ones that I am done with, fyi, I’m a huge Jhon force fan, until John says he has a problem with them leaving when they did I will let it be
