I'm sure the sponsors who bought the next generation crap are thrilled. Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Rumor is Monster is gone from the dragster and Advance is moving over there. Austin Prock may get the Funny Car ride. Or they may put Denso on one of them. Or they may park it. Who knows?

Think all the Force girls will be done within another year...with Alan Johnson leaving Brittany’s top fuel car she’ll have another down year too. DSR has prevailed in their death lock.

I agree with others that Mr. and Mrs Rahal are probably planning on starting a family. Where did you see that Alan Johnson is leaving Force? I have seen some rumors that David Grubnic would be working on the dragster but that was quite a while ago and no announcements yet.

The Grubnic tuned car finished well ahead of the JFR dragster. With a much smaller budget I might add. Last edited by CMcAllister; 01/25/19 04:05 PM.

Johnson was a consultant for both JFR and Salinas last year. However if you read between the lines it does give the impression that Johnson is out also. He certainly would not be needed if Grubnec is working for JFR as rumored.

If true I wonder where this will leave Millican? It was announced quite a while ago that Mike Kobler would be Millican's crew chief. The Stringer team was absorbed by a conglomerate that kept Millican, promptly kicked out Grubnick and the crew that got them to 3rd in points with a single car team on a budget, and hired Mike Kloeber, who while having some past success, hadn't worked in NHRA since 2014. It's called "Silly Season" for a reason. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

He only has 1 kid who still wants to drive. And he won't be driving much longer. Hight will remain. I believe developing Prock's son was part of the deal with Jimmy Prock, and he likes to keep everything in the family. Just as he did with the Medlins.
