Tony Pedregon to DSR?

[Just Paul]

Whatever keeps Tony out there, is good news. Hopefully Cruz can put something together also.

Top Fueler.. Anybody that brings some $$$ will get a top 10 car.

Steve, we're 180 out on this.

I believe if a car owner can sell signage on 16 cars, he should be able too. One for me, one for my son, one for his best friend, one for my daughter, one for her boyfriend, one for her ex, one for my granddaughter, one for each of my grandsons, one for raven, one for lilly, one for lilly's mom... one for jessie lynn, one for her hubby Mitch, one for Minick, One for PJ, one for Martin's son, heck I'd put you in a ride, if I HAD THE MONEY.

but, I'd run half of them AHRA and the other half NHRA...

Damn K... I'm truly honored.

On that subject- I never knew how much winning the lottery was going to have to play a part in kiddo having a nitro career!!!! Come on Powerball!!!

 

[The Counterfeiter]

ok... from an 8 second comp eliminator car to Fuel Funny Car.... Got it!

That guy that went directly from an 8.90 car to a T/F has done OK.
And . . . Zippy going from never having raced (basically) anything to F/C.
I don't make predictions about drivers anymore - ya never know if someone has got what it takes!

Exactly, I remember when people were doubting AB when he was tapped to drive TF. Well that worked out well, huh?

What happened to the 4 cars for any owner ? Or was that 4 cars for any pro Class?

4 per class. How do you think Don was able to have 4 FC, 2 TF, 1 PS and 2 PSM entries in the past?

 

[DixonFan]

I find this very surprising....

Exactly......either you have the knack or you don't.
Simply wanting to do it doesn't cut it.

Besides, it's a proven car.....it's not like shaking down a brand new piece.
I'm sure he'll get plenty of very professional advice. Very professional.

jmho.

maybe shoe isn't adding a fourth, might just be replacing a driver in one of the three? both Hagan and Beckman pay for their seats. Has anyone read whether they are coming back next year?......

Apples and Oranges Dragster vs. Funny Car Jim....

Zip worked on them his whole adult life... There is something to be said about that type of 'on hands education'... DEL, ERIC, ROBERT... on and on....

He can do whatever he wants.... he's kaptian khaos....But I wouldn't put my son in a nitro fuel flopper without some TAFC seat time.... Just my Buck-o-five....

but then again... it's just a rumor at this point.

hey thanks man now if you only had Don Schu money to make it happen

 

[PJ]

What happened to the 4 cars for any owner ? Or was that 4 cars for any pro Class?

when they made the rule it was 4 per class

 

[turbo ken]

I don't see it happening, they say that T Ped has all most a $1,000,000 in associate sponsorship (which isn't enough for a full time nitro ride), and if some of that money is from Quaker State, I don't think that Valvoline wouldn't like that too much.

 

[scooter]

Does anybody have the real scoop on this?where is the link to the breaking story?I looked for it,must have just missed it.

Its from DRO. consider the source...

LOL!!! I was thinking the same thing... not going to hold my breath on anything DRO speculates.

 

[scubasteve]

if my memory is right del never drove anything but a fuel fc ... maybe im old

 

[Chuck]

You are correct Steve. His professional debut was at Pamona2 in 1990 at the age of 20.

 

[camaro]

i'm pretty sure Del drove a TF at one point, in fact i have a vague memory of him driving both a TF and a FC at the same event when it was legal to do so. i could be wrong on that but i'm positive he drove a dragster at one time !
