Thumbs up Re: Force(s) to drive A/Fuel in 08?

HOLY COW!I don't know but if the sale of pro racing works out for the better and the sponsors come everyone on the sidelines will get a ride and then some.
I would like a return to 32 car fields with 1 st. round Sat. night.

Lets hope for a continuing good economy so the budgets are there.

How is Force able to run a Ford nitro engine but the Austin's were not?

Re: Force(s) to drive A/Fuel in 08?

Since I can only assume the Courtney and Brittany's ultimate goal is a Nitro FC such as Ashley, I think they are far better served learning in a Alky FC. Ashley Force would be far better off had she'd spent 2 years in an Alky Flopper rather than the A-Fuel dragster.

Very True Joe....

If the Rules let people run injected Nitro in floppers...

but then... I'd love to see jr. fuel classes and blown alky classes separate
ie A/FD & A/FC and BA/FC & BA/FD... but while we're at it bring back AA/GD...

Daniel Wilkerson is a pretty good example of that.

Has driven nothing but short wheelbase front engine drag race cars.

My guess is, TAFC would be way to dangerous for Papa Force's nerves and much tougher for his daughters to win in.

I've got to agree with this,injected nitro floppers running on 98% would be awesome,and a great training ground for AA/FC

I bet they end up in top fuel dragsters.

And Jimmy Prock will run the birdcage side of the Team, like Austin 'runs' the Flopper side... it's got a beat, you can dance to it, I'd give it a 90% Mr. Sammons

Re: Force(s) to drive A/Fuel in 08?

IMO, it seems like Courtney has more interest in moving up than Britney. Did you see Britney signing autographs last week? She looked like a sourpuss.
