Re: Snake releases TJ........

WTF? How did this happen? I guess this means Skytel is done since Skoal is moving to the dragster?

Re: Snake releases TJ........

now that is truly something we never saw coming. so much for the husband vs. wife matchup. makes you wonder if someone else has money to offer for the seat.

Re: Snake releases TJ........

does this also mean the car is parked for pomona or is the snake pulling a "david powers" and putting someone in for 1 race.

Man, that sucks. Like Greg said, TJ is a long time friend and I hope that something works out quickly for them.

Re: Snake releases TJ........

Update says that TJ will race in Pomona!
Very sad!!!
SkyTel was only 1 year as Larry said back in Sept.

Best wishes & luck to TJ! You've done a great job for The Snake!!!



On the other hand, congrat Larry on getting a sponsor!

Re: Snake releases TJ........

No wonder he was a bit down this weekend when I saw him!!!

This absolutly blow's chunks, but it's part of the business of PRO NHRA DRAG RACING!

Hope he finds a ride soon...or he'll be Dog Sitting for Mel!

Good luck to TJ, he's one of the good guys out there and deserves a good, quality ride. He represented Snake Racing very well!

Re: Snake releases TJ........

Is it because there will be one car next year driven by Dixon? I think it sucks that now days there's an owner and a driver. Not a driver that ownes the car. Now days when you are for hire you are at the owners mercy.

Re: Snake releases TJ........

Sad situation, TJ represents clean-cut middle- American youth and should be a great marketing tool.

Like Kenseth in NASCAR. Too bad he didn't get the ride he's deserved.

Ya know, NHRA needs DESPERATELY to establish a STAR system.

For example, I was thinking of designing a sticker around the NHRA eclipse with "Get well quick, John" curving around the top with "'Cause you're all we have." Curving 'round the bottom!
