I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Frank Hawley is going to drive for Mike Ashley. Frank has been one of my favorites for a long time. Sorry to see Mike getting out of the seat but at least he'll still run the Pro Mod. Frank Hawley back in a Funny Car, Too Cool!!!

Dave

I just read the article on NHRA.com too, Dave. That was a great piece. I just am amazed every time I read something from Mike Ashley, either on here or wherever he is quoted. His attitude towards everything is something I dare to dream about having. His outlook is positive, 24/7.
The team they have assembled is going to be killer. I think we will see some big things from them this year.
Good luck to Mike, Melanie, and everyone one associated with the teams.
Thank you again, to Roger for getting more involved with Mike.

yea!!!!!! now thats cool. mike ashley, your my hero.

Yeah I had to do a double take when I read that. ...Must be a misprint.....Then I read the article and it appears that the second car will be run at select races, and why not Frank if he wants to do it! I think this give Mike the chance to still run his ProMod and then have more time at home for his family and business interests. I wonder if Frank's lic is still current?

Frank Hawley back in a Funny Car!! That is way cool!

Now how about a Chi Town Hustler retro themed car...... digital artists... start your mice and tablets.

Last year I saw Frank wandering the pits, and I asked him if he missed driving. He said "No, not really" , I then asked wasn't he the least bit curious what 4.60's@330 feels like? He then said "You learn to not miss it as you get older" So this announcement is kinda strange...

Didn't he have Dean testing for him? Wonder what happened there.

Jay

His school can not do Fuel licenses....

Now why on earth would somebody want to do that?

Because it would be freakin' cool!

All we need now is for Dale Pulde, Raymond Beadle, Craig Epperly, Gary Burgin, Tim Grose, and a few other 1980's funny car drivers to come back and we'll be SET!!! Heck, even Bill Sweeney might be reeled back to attending NHRA National Event!

All kidding aside, Great to see Frank get his groove on behind the wheel of a Nitro Funny car once again! Sucks to see Mike Ashley out of the seat, but i'm glad to see it's Frank getting some laps! Good Luck to him!

Hawley is a cool deal.

I'd really like to see Mark Oswald, he is one of my favorites.
