NHRA kicks off their season this weekend at Ponoma!!! :D :driving:

Things to watch for...

  • New title sponsor -- NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series

  • New Crew Chief -- for the once unbeatable Tony Schumacher

  • His former Chief -- With newly formed team with Larry Dixon at the wheel

  • Ashley Force "Hood" --- She got Married (DAMN!! :mad:)

  • Lastly my good friend Fast Jack Beckman -- Looking to keep the ball rolling after having a good season last year in Funny Car! :thumbsup:

Here is the Ponoma Race Preview Blurp...

Every February since 1961, fans have flocked to Southern California not just for the un-winterlike weather, but also for one of drag racing’s grandest traditions: the unveiling of new cars, drivers, teams, and sponsorships at the season opener. The Big Go West plays out at the fabled facility known for its outstanding traction, smooth surface, and potential for record *performances. Teams hope to use the opener as a springboard in their pursuit of a spot in the Countdown to 10 championship program.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who do we have to kill, I mean who lucked out with Ashley??

He's one of the guys on her crew.

Glad they finally got to finish the race. Took them until Tuesday.

There appears to be many changes in NHRA. The tight economy is evident here, too. Many teams reshuffled as far as personnel go. Some of the top drivers currently out with no sponsors, or no ride. There is a Sheik from Qatar as co-owner of one of the teams (Al-Anabi Racing). I usually go to Commerce, GA (Atlanta Dragway), but am not sure I will this year. I already pre-ordered my tix for the NHRA Nationals in Concord. Can't wait to re-visit that place.

Yeah more than likely - I'll hit Atlanta again & possibly Bristol.

and of course Charlotte! ;)

      It is Quiet...Too Quiet: Thanks Dilworth Neighborhood Grille?

      We all remember 2023, when the Teppers were making the Pro Day rounds.  Then last year, the owner of this restaurant, blocks from Bank of America stadium, sent a message that was received by the Panthers' owner. 😡😠🤬 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/panthers-owner-david-tepper-makes-news-once-again-on-day-1-of-nfl-draft Why would an owner of a restaurant put up a sign of this nature?  Flashback to the Tepper Pro Day tour.  Brace yourselves: THE PRO DAY CIRCUIT,  2023  "THE HORROR." That is Nicole Tepper, all up in the prospect evaluation process with some motherly love and awkward post-hug expressions.  I was like, "What is she doing there?" Here is the lovely owner of the Panthers on the front row among scouts and our head coach at Ohio State's pro day in 2023. MODERN DAY:  APRIL 2025 So, have David and Nicole realized that ownership in the NFL does not make you an evaluator of talent?   Will their egos allow them to let others do their jobs?  Or should we brace ourselves to see their thrones moved to the war room on April 24, preparing for their draft day interventions?  Have they been on the pro day circuit?  Have we tarnished his desktop brass balls?  Did the bartender hurt his feelings?  Did he get the message?  Just because we don't see them, it does not mean they are not there--lurking in the shadows--hugging people and talking to coaches.  Texting stuff. "Dan, take who you want, but that Offensive Guard from Guilford is my third cousin twice removed."   We need to be diligent.  Stay focused.  Keep them away from the brain trust.  Seriously, did they get the message?  What have you heard?  Are we safe? Recently, GM Dan Morgan was asked if the Teppers were involved in the private workouts at BOA.  Morgan refused to answer, but he did stare at the reporter for 43 seconds.  This photo shows Morgan being asked about the Teppers' involvement during a recent presser: According to inside sources, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, made famous by Morgan during his playing days, was recently seen being delivered to Morgan's office shortly after meeting with the Teppers, a meeting that included a power point featuring the Teppers' top 50 prospect list.  Please post any Tepper-related news here.  Hoping there is not any.

      TJ Watt is stirring up social media with throwin up a ✌️. Sounds like he either wants out or knows he is out.  So. question is, if the Steelers come calling and offer 21 and TJ Watt for 8, are you biting?
