I guess I will be the first to ask -
Where was that John said something to the effect of "My daughter will never drive a top fuel car!" I suppose that was just Ashley though.

I remember that too, there was a time when he also thought about making the switch. However with the wing collapse issues and Darrel's death he (like Scelzi) thought the dragsters were much less safe then Funny Cars. After Eric's death that has showed to be less true.
Also if they want to race as pro's the just can't go to Funny car right now. There is a 4 car limit per team. So if all 3 girls race then either John or Hight is out and thats just not going to happen.
I wonder if Ford would think about reinvesting in Pro Stock and using Courtney and/or Brittney there to help give them(ford) imediate exposure.
