What's happening in Brownsburg (21 Viewers)

[CS]

The same person who told me the Procks were leaving JFR weeks ago called a few minutes ago. Here is what he says has happened in the last few days - one possibly two teams with no funding for 2026 everyone told they could walk if they want to. Also three crew chiefs/co-crew chiefs released, Chad Green Crew Chief released, Rick Reynolds in at Cruz, one car chief released/resigned and eleven crew members released/resigned. In addition the entire Tasca team was released. JFR interviewing young people for the Cornwell car for sustainability. Entire established top ten team joining JFR announcement to be in the near future. Get your dry mark boards and score cards ready this is the silly season in full swing.

I mentioned it the other day in another thread that a bomb has been dropped in Brownsburg, and that things will get really interesting in the coming weeks.

Saw a reel on F/B with Buddy Hull in a T/F car.

Saw a reel on F/B with Buddy Hull in a T/F car.

He started off in Top Fuel for a few years before he went to Dunn. I think he even had his own dragster at one point and the Wilkersons were helping out on it.

Tony they are referring to Rip.

Ok, I was thinking it was Rip.

 

[T.Smith]

So, Cruz released the Car Chief (not the Crew Chief) and the whole crew??

Not that I am aware of. I did hear that Tasca did though.

 

[BOO BOO]

Just added Rip

Saw a reel on F/B with Buddy Hull in a T/F car.

He owned one a couple years ago.

Hopefully Buddy will be in a better car.

Thats for sure,did they even win a round this year? If i was paying for that ride id prob look elsewhere too.

Meanwhile, things are slow in Chicago. Raking leaves and hanging Christmas lights are the order of the day.

Something I've always wondered when Crew Chiefs leave and go to a different team. How much data when it comes to clutch setups, fuel/ignition timing, log books, engine combination, track prep notes, etc belongs to the crew chief or the team. I know you cant take "setup A" and plug it into "car B" and have it run the same but I imagine some of it is transferable.

Tasca makes sense based on the "rumor" Procks are going there with the whole JFR crew.
Two teams with no funding is bad.
The others seem like some reorganizing
