What's happening in Brownsburg (12 Viewers)

[LoPony]

Seems like there are a dozen people that can put together funds for TF right now, with another dozen that are actively looking for a deal. To me, this seemed like why the Mission Foods sponsorship was so cool for NHRA, because it brings in a new consumer brand. It really wasn’t previously associated with the sport. I’m hoping we can find more of these.

I don't see the appeal for her racing TF.
Maybe I'm clueless but I don't see a sponsor stepping up to fund her. If I remember correctly, she didn't even want to drive a TA/D.
For all I know , she has a large fan base and I'm the clueless one! I just don't see it.

If I recall correctly, Antron Brown was the one pushing for her to get into Top Fuel. They are related by marriage. I would think if Antron could get the funding, he would put her in a 2nd Team T/F car.

are you sure?

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

They beat Tasca in the first round at US Nationals, first and only round win. On Buddy's Talkin' Funny Cars interview series the first one in season two is Buddy being interviewed by Elon Werner his producer. He is all in on nitro cars as a career and I think he definately left the Dunn team for something better. Must watch interview, everything you wanted to know about Buddy Hull but were afraid to ask.

They are related by marriage.

Which marriage?

 

[Rajunz]

are you sure?

Antron is married to Angelle's first cousin, which she introduced him to back when they were racing motorcycles.

 

[Butch]

are you sure?

Cousin in law

Cousin in law

Correct - they are related through marriage, as they are cousins-in-law via Brown's wife, Billie Jo

So..... You don't count Gainesville, Epping and Bristol?
P.S. Buddy wasn't driving the car in Indy, Alex Laughlin was and Tasca lost to Prock in Indy.

Edit: I have no inside information, I'm just reading the tea leaves like everyone else. I don't know where the Procks will land, just pointing out that IF it is Tasca, the morning commute won't change much.
