I hope this works out for both Cruzer & Wayne.

On a side note, and at the risk of hijacking the thread (sorry Chris), what ever happened with the warrant that was out for Wayne's arrest? I've been on the road a lot without access to the internet, so I'm a little behind... I hope all is well for Wayne and his family as well as Doug Herbert and his family and team - I'm just curious what the final outcome, if any, was.

Talking

This is my favorite time of year. No, I don't mean when shoppers are bustling home with packages and bright-eyed Children anxiously line up to meet Santa Claus, and peaceful evening neighborhoods are aglow with holiday lights.....

I mean when every NHRA driver has zero points, press releases start popping up announcing exciting staff & sponsorship changes, teams are ordering brand new uniforms, and new decals are being applied to cars and haulers!

So much for Frank having a steady tuner throughout 2006...

I do hope everything works out for Wayne, Frank, and the Cruzer.

Ah, silly season

He would be better off letting Dickie tune both cars!

I am beginning to wonder if Frank P will even be back next year, or any time after. Some very critical comments were going around the pits among the nitro teams regarding his racing efforts.

He would be better off letting whoever he hires to be crew chief tune the car, and leave his input in the lounge!

Dale, I am with you. Every thing I have heard about Frank and his "operation" this year has been negative and some people have thrown around some major accusations on many different levels. I have only meet Frank once and he seemed like a good guy, so I wish him the best on getting his career back on track.

I wish some other people the best in getting their careers back on track. I've spent the last year being a sounding board for a friend who was in a business agreement with him, and it didn't pan out, leaving a giant hole in a savings account.

If he keeps playing musical Crew Chiefs with the same results he will be back in the booth with Mike Dunn! LOL
I will say it again let Dickie tune both cars!
As much as I like Wayne he lost something after the accident. I wish he would just take a step back get healthy and then make a comeback.

I agree Bob, I dont think Wayne will make it there long, but I could be wrong.

I gotta agree with you guys about Dickie (don't forget assistant Kurt Elliot!) tuning both cars.
That would be a true 1-2 punch!

Maybe this has been covered before, but. Cruz and Tony teamed up. How come Frank, hasn't teamed with them? Be cool to have all three on the same team.
