if could guess 20 different 'new' things i think i mite see on a sunday
race coverage, a phone call from whit would not be one of them.
just my .02

I wanted to know what he's been up to but I miss seeing him race. The only thing more I'd like is an update on Dean Skuza.

FYI - fix your sig. Tony's first win was not in June.

Thanks for pointing that out, I knew there was something wrong.

To make matters worse, people have to start launching personal insults all because I said one damn sentence about Whit. Sad.

Samuel,

I think you should have stayed in bed today! I will tell you that you are lucky I am biting my tongue today because you said some pretty ugly things on the Hillary's Shoulder Harness thread. Please think before you type sometimes. Don't be too quick to assume.

Now, everyone back in the pool!!!

Suzie, emotions got the best of me in that thread. Sorry.

I'll try not to put my foot in my mouth next time, or better yet try my darnedest to stay out of the Whit threads.

Suzie, there's an old saying my father would say to me when I did and said dumb things. He would say to me, "Son put your brain in gear, before you put your actions and mouth in motion!" Heard that many times when I was a teenager. Take care and have a great week!

List of people who would be in line in front of Whit if only they were to "land a sponsor":

Jim Head
Phil Burkhart
Jeff Arend
Dean Skuza
Daniel Wilkerson
Anyone in TAFC
Timmah

You have your opinion about Whit but none of those drivers bring 20 NHRA event wins and handfuls of top ten finishes....as a driver and as a team owner.
Like him or not he has a unique personality, that is unpredictable and filled w/ moxie, and was hosting a group of 'angel investors' when I ran into him @ the Grove.

In one our many moments of meaningful conversation, I once asked my man (Al Hofmann) who he would most like to sit down and have dinner with, talk of racing, past, present and future. He said none other than our friend Whit Bazemore. Wouldn't that have been something? Al and Whit were very much alike, and given the opportunity to build a dream team, the driver most likely would have been Whit Bazemore. The man is very intense and extremely dedicated to his values and vision. A very talented man.
His true personality is not well known. Read between the lines race fans, you will find something quite brilliant.

I'm with d'kid on this one... here's a guy who's hasn't strapped into a race car all year and he's already got 42 posts in this thread from people who have an opinion about the guy - I'm not a fan, but I don't necessarily dislike him either. That said, the sport needs him out there or his personality.

Sounds like maybe that Vandergriff guy knew what he was talking about after all!

Why am I not surprised by that. My two favorite funny car drivers ever. Why I don't know it's not something I can really explain. It's just a sense about them. I just always thought about the both of them - now there's a guy who's out here for the right reason. PASSION.

Not that the others aren't , but the PT Barnum circus show you get sometimes aint' my style, and the butt kissing sponsor pleasing wimp show ain't my style either

Thanks for posting that you made my day!

So is Whit enjoying his cycling out in Oregon?

Like Keith Richards said a long time ago. "It don't matter if its good publicity or bad publicity, its still publicity".

Most go either way with Whit. I will not deny the fact that he can get it done in a race car. Thats the real bottom line here. I hope he lines something up soon. Its a lot more fun with him out there.
