Isn't that what these "Discussion Boards" are for??  Half of what is interesting is assumption and inuendo anyway....Not to say its right, but....
BTW... Nice work over the years, Rahn... I'm sure hope its been appreciated...

Re: Tobler Resigns From Kalitta
JR Todd would be cool, didn't like the way kenny chopped him of at the knees, I know it's buss. and well deserved pay check for his former crew chief, it's just tough to see a small team get hit by big money, would have been great if they could have landed a dollar sponsor to keep team intact, good luck Ron where ever you land next

Re: Tobler Resigns From Kalitta
Wow, definitely a shocker. Rahn's a great tuner and he seemed like a perfect fit with the Kalitta's. I hope Rahn and Team Kalitta both have future success.

If I am not mistaken, Doug was running good before Rahn took over.

That's right, Teri! My brothers also had the "winning combination"
They will miss Rahn at Kalitta Motorsports.......without a doubt!

That's ok, Teri. I see Suzie got a kick out of it also. I heard that someone named Tressel is going to take over Doug's car for the interim--any truth to that rumor? By the way, my son was home for a visit last weekend and he was very impressed with the buckeyes AND the buckeye story. Thanks again!

That is a good point. But, Rahn brought consistency to the car to the point that, if not for AJ and "The Run," they would have won the title last year. I know that sounds like sour grapes. I do not intend to take anything away from Alan Johnson -- he is, and has been for some time, the man in Top Fuel. But I think Doug had his best moments with Rahn, just as Scott K. had his best moments when Dicko was his crew chief. Fair enough?

Fair enough Roger  but I think we'll still see good things from Doug & the Mac Tools team!

I hope so. And, by the way, I am a Buckeye through and through.
