Troxel third DNQ...

[jm]

Has anyone heard about any potential changes? It sucks to see
and is probably not too good for the sport in general. I feel that
she is a top 10 driver and 3 dnqs must be eating away at her...

All I know is that In & Out spent a long time out of the sport, and if this kind of performance continues, they will leave again...for another long time.

I just wish Melanie was with a team that could give her a chance to win. I'm not seeing it happening with this team.

 

[Bullard Anderson]

I am pulling for this team. I would like Melanie qualifying and win in each show.

I know I'm going to take heat for this but anyway.....

IMO Mel should maybe go back in a top fuel car. I'm not doubting her driving skills but that FC program is just not working out. It worked for Del....

Yeah just go back to a TF car. Simple enough. There are so many open seats she should be able to just jump ship at any time.

of course it worked for Del !! any driver that goes into an Alan Johnson Dragster will start winning multiple races, thats pretty much has been the case for the last 15 years !!

Feel bad for In-N-Out, I hate seeing Sponsors get such a poor showing! But I'm sure RB will do what is necessary!

She ran a 4.25 and would've got in but they said a front right fender measured too low on one of the runs and it was thrown out.

If we had steak we could have steak and eggs, if we had eggs.

I HIGHLY doubt that her driving is the issue here, Melanie can drive the wheels off of anything. If I were to guess, I say that it has something to do with that chassis they're running. No matter who crew chief's on that car, it goes up in smoke pass after pass.

 

[jm]

thanks for the update on the tossed out run. I saw a run was DQed but
didnt know why. In light of that info, she must be REALLY pissed.

 

[Rat]

it is not her driving, how can ANYONE say that? Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro-Mod, Top Alcohol Dragster, Every Day Car, She can and has proven that she can handle them all. Aaron Brooks is a great up and coming crew chief and he has tuned cars really really well at times, but I don't think his consistancy is where it needs to be right now. That's the answer.

Don't forget Bobsled

 

[I was NITRO BREATH]

i felt terrible when i found out they didn't qualify again. i hope this doesn't mean Aaron has to go. have my fingers crossed for them in Charlotte

Who said she couldn't drive?

if i was larry I may want Alan and Brian tuning my car. Jason is excellent but Alan touching any motor is the motor i want.

 

[Rat]

It's not a response of mine that said you did, just saying that in general I heard many sources that claim she might not be able to drive the car and that's just absurd.

Make that 0 for 4! I feel Bad for IN-N-OUT! They deserve better!
