Steve a lot of people belong to this site, including Don Schumacher, unless you have a source that is credible than it don't mean $hit!
I notice you are new to this site (4 post) there are a lot of people on this site that are involved in this sport so you will be considered talking out the butt until it actually happens just an FYI.
I'm not saying that you are lying but expect some criticism with a rumor such as the one you threw out there!
In case nobody has said it welcome to the mater and be careful what you say because you will be called on it with these kinds of posts!

I did hear at Pomona that Last fall KB tried to get Todd O, but that's all I know.

Exclamation Re: Is Ray Alley still the crew chief?

How about this. I am at the airport in Phoenix, and walked over to the Indy gate to see who might be there. Needless to say, the were no less than 10 crew chiefs. I talked to a few. Ray is no longer with Kenny from what I was told. I quickly talked to Todd and I said, you are all the talk this morning... He said, that's what I hear... I didn't ask THE question because I thought it would be rude, it just isn't my style, and he probably wouldn't tell me anyway... I did say that I hope he stays with Jack. Time will tell, my guess is that we will know today or tomorrow... I think it may be true, but who am I, just a nobody as the Doc said...

There might be something to it this is what I found!

::: Drag Racing Online ::: Columns - Agent 1320 - 2/27/2007

The agent has got it wrong in the past but who knows!

Re: Is Ray Alley still the crew chief?

And you heard it here first! Welcome to the mater Steve! This could be quite a shakeup. Any ideas what would happen to Beckman's team if Todd O leaves?

How many times last year, did we see a newbie come on here and give us the scoop on goings on, that everyone said they only have one or two posts, so how could they know... Only later almost always to end up being the absolute truth... We switched to using our real names, and now this may be the first time since that switch, that we have someone who may be held accountable...

What is your source?

There are more then a few reporters in jail right now, for not giving up a source, so I understand the asking that part of the question... But I don't think it is mandated that we have a source... I also don't think every yahoo is going to get on here and start rumors like we have had in the past... Time will tell...

As far as nice guys... Those days seem to have passed us a long time ago... This is a cut throat BUSINESS now, and nothing would surprise me anymore... The days of handshakes and contracts are broken as easily as some peoples ego's on here... JMO on this whole thread...
Hey, it gives us something to talk about... And like I said, time will tell...

But the agent has got it wrong in the past, but with some of the other long time maters quote's, who knows!

This could be another blow to the Schumacher camp and Beckmans performance...

I will file it in my wait and see file but thanks for the heads up Steve!

Could also be that they are looking to see if the cup they are drinking out of, has a leak in it...
I see the same thing all the time Martin...
