My goodness.....this is insane!

 

[Just Paul]

Very odd... The team sold???Again? This close to Pomona?!

Insane is right Kelly


This team could win the championship this year! Top 3 at least!

 

[Nunz]

Probably another case where the sponsorship wasn't big enough to do the full pull without the owner subsidizing, and well, you know the rest...

 

[Paul]

More crappy news, great. I hope this is just the team selling old equipment. With Snap-On and Mac already gone as primary sponsors, I wouldn't be shocked.

Maybe "The Don" just needed his fishing buddy back in the fold... Just a guess

 

[rollingthunder]

I was wondering the same thing. Once snap on was gone MAC was next, and now maybe Matco ?

I think he has found another...........Doug Herbert! Blogs.NHRA.com - NHRA Driver Blogs

I find it hard to believe that Antron won't be out there next year. Just an all around quality team.

DRO reporting that the team was sold to Mike Ashley and will be tuned by Brian Coradi...driven by Antron.

Does this mean Corradi left R2B2? I cant believe if Lee Beard was let go,im sure some1 will snatch him right up!

 

[NCC250]

It said beard was let go..........Oswald is one of the best, underated tuners out there.

 

[handsome]

they should put mel in that ride.... wonder if matco is staying on?

 

[Just Paul]

Hmm.. Agent 1320... 25/75... but anyway..

Makes sense to me if true.

1. Mike said earlier he wants a FC by 2010, and what a great way to snag Brian and Mark now. Then let them get the FC next year, and get someone else to tune the pipe rack in '10.
2. Matco and Antron go back aways, so surprise they keep him.

 

[DrRocket]

So does the "assets of the team" include all of Lee Beard's tuning data and records?

 

[team23rulz]

I talked to Antron yesterday and he didn't mention any of this and they plan to be testing next weekend. That's what i know.

 

[JIMBO]

People....... shhhhhhh
Now listen to Jordy he has the horses mouth.
And just hope Antron is aware of every thing and everyone around him.

whatever's happening, hope someone bought mr. power's
paddock setup (awnings/framework/hospitality).....best looking IMO.

Got that right, but it looked to be a P.I.T.A to set up on consecutive weeks.

stood and looked at it last summer - every piece labeled/numbered and
also i think i remember seeing matco or cat designation to show correct side
of paddock area. pretty cool stuff........i agree though; P.I.T.A.

they should have 'fan' contests at nat. events - play it up on radio spots......
"hang out with pro team!, be the first thru gates in pro transporter!"
then park the rig, open the doors and tell your contest weiner, "i want this
up in three hours"..............
