Bad run from start to finish plus being miserably hot up there didn't help his mood much either I'm sure.....

I am one of the biggest AJ fans but that was a little disappointing. Unfortunately he directed it to the wrong guy from what I seen.
Now, regroup AJ and put it to em tomorrow! Beep

LOL.... he did FIRE that bottle of water... cleared
the bill boards...LOL
And I really dont think he was mad at Vince... but
I believe he was more saying(loudly) how they lined
him up.... JMO base on the interview

Re: A J showin his azz - 07/08/12 04:53 AM
Oh good grief!!! He was not mad at Vincent. Heck even in the final round the old man was over there tuning the motor. Bad pass nothing more and its hot and he CLEARLY has a bad hot rod. Its nice to see some less than PC actions from these guys. He wants to win....and he knows that one got away. But hey how about Nobile? AJ, Edwards and Line in 3 rounds. That is tough.... Good Job!!!

Allen was mad at himself and his crew. He wasn't yelling at Vince, he was just yelling.
I'm pretty sure if I had the baddest car on the place and lost $50K to a stupid mistake I'd be pretty pissed too.

Re: AJ - 07/09/12 06:34 PM
The ONLY thing I didn't like was that he called out his "crewchief" on national TV. I mean, come on Allen... You're driving the car, Didn't you notice you were nearly out of the lane as you were backing up?
Outside of that.... I think most people get the most mad when they're really mad at themselves. I know that's the case with myself, and that appeared to be the case, here. It was a shame, as he clearly had the Baddest car on the property, and let one get away. That said, this is happening alot with this team. Unfortunately, I think if you were to ask who the "underachiever" award would go to so far in Pro-Stock this year, our main man Allen would have to wear that label right now. As far as throwing a water bottle.... nice throw! The wrist has obviously healed up just fine!
They just need to keep at it. The car clearly performs, they'll get it ironed out. Go AJ!

Great to see true emotions out of a true racer. Way to go AJ, and Im sure your really proud to see Vincent doing so well with your pony under the hood.
Great job and im sure your gonna be right back up there at the next race. Its a mopar race and Id love to see ya win there AGAIN!!

I didn't see it but would guess that AJ has a lot of pent up frustration this season. It seems they just keep inventing new ways to lose. I know if I were in his shoes I'd be banging my head on the wall screaming WHY CAN'T WE GET THIS RIGHT!
Things are looking up for the Mopar P/S crowd, Roy is making good power, Vincent seems to be getting a handle on his driving and Jeggie is qualifying. When Jeggies team get it figured out he will get some wins, he wins in everything he drives and the Mopar will be no different.
Good luck to all the Mopar teams.

I agree with all of this, except for the Nobile part. He seems to be getting a handle on his driving? I think he has had a handle ever since his first race out. He has been consistently good from the start, better than anyone else out there right now. But, at least we have good running Mopars to root for

Re: AJ - 07/10/12 03:45 PM
AJ is in third place in the points standings, only 61 points out. In addition, his engine customer is in 5th place. Calling that underachievement is ignorant. How about WJ or Larry Morgan, neither is in the top 10 nor can they barely qualify, and they can both build first-class engines.
This could be an interesting race with Connelly running a 2nd Cagnazzi car. That will be 7 contenders with Mike Edwards that may start beating up on each other.

Vincent had a stretch where he had several red lights, that is what I was refering to. Maybe it was the clutch set up, I don't know. Whatever it was they seem to have a handle on it now.

I have noticed in the last few races Vincent's lights have been consistently in the .03X-.04X range when they used to be .00X -.01X. I would guess clutch too.
Posted By: mopartony
Re: AJ - 07/10/12 04:40 PM
Not sure if I would say clutch right off the bat on Vince. I would think they worked on not staging as deep or maybe slowed the launch down. His 60' times would tell the story on if it was clutch or shallow staging.
As for AJ, I would be smoked off too. I would have tossed the water bottle too. Not as far but.... Vince was just there and AJ was chirping.
It is nice to see someone with some sand and passion unlike the vanilla and or cry baby crap we see all the time.

Nothing wrong ith someone being passionate about thier profession. Particularly when it was an error that shoudl have never happened. These guys are professionals remember and a mistake was made that likely cost the man a race.
Oh a side note I actually watched the race for a change. What the heck was up with the track, looked liked it was causing a lot of teams problems. I ahve not seen that many Pro Stock teams have issues in a long time.

Al,
Track temps were in the 140's and as high as 150+ at one point. The rubber was pulling off and there were bald spots.
I know Norwalk is a great track, walked out of my shoes there...
It was just a test session, granted big dollar, big speed, low ET cars but none the less.

Re: AJ - 07/10/12 08:43 PM
I can feel for AJ. You know he has carried the Mopar banner in Pro Stock for us Mopar people for a good number of years and I think he deserves to win it all. So I can understand when it seems like every dumb thing that can happen does to keep you from winning it all. I have the same kind of luck. This is a great time for the Mopars in Pro Stock with as many as 5 Mopars that can get in the show and I am very happy about that. Myself I just love when a Mopar wins but I have a soft spot for AJ and his team because of all the hard work they have put in. But I like all the Mopar teams. It was also good to see V Gaines doing good and Jeg getting in. And V Nobile is one heck of a driver who is winning with AJ's dads powerplants which is also good to see. Good luck to AJ and all the Mopar teams. Ron

SO FAR over I was wondering what the hell was going on

centered up and(IMO) he was pointed left

I raced his dad and Allen when he first started racing in IHRA Super Stock. He has always been and always will be my favorite. I was glad he got upset over something stupid and he did admit hi steam made the mistake. I would be disapointed if he had not gotten upset about it. At least he didn't pull a Greg Anderson or Jason Line and whine about the other guy or make something up. LOL, I don't think Vince wanted anything to do with AJ at that moment and I don't think AJ was yelling at him. Just trying to be heard over the other cars.
