I was thinking that too.Just a guess but Guido and John Medlen coming over from Beckman’s old team makes sense.
Not sure where he got his start but he was with Etchells (and Tim Richards) in '95 when I met him. He went to Force shortly after that.was watching an old late 80's nhra national recently on you tube and saw a very young john medlen, was it with chuck etchells i saw him?
where did john get his start?
As far as I thought Capps was all good with NAPA, I don't remember seeing that his contract was at an end and needing an extension.Didn't Capps announce the extension with NAPA not that long ago?
I believe John Medlin's first nitro crew chief job was with the Rudy Toepke TF team from Arkansas. Saw them in Tulsa in late or mid 80' match race. If I remember correctly Toepke beat Dick LaHaie in the final.Not sure where he got his start but he was with Etchells (and Tim Richards) in '95 when I met him. He went to Force shortly after that.
He was Prudhomme's crew chief in TF in the early 90's. @Paul Songas you have a good memory, what year was it? My gut says 91.Not sure where he got his start but he was with Etchells (and Tim Richards) in '95 when I met him. He went to Force shortly after that.
Rudy Was alright! I remember he blew up and in his interview he said he pulled the chute and hung on for dear life lolI believe John Medlin's first nitro crew chief job was with the Rudy Toepke TF team from Arkansas.

Medlin being the crew chief for Capps this year has everything to do with Capps ...His backround over the years was what they were talking about. I think Capps will be fine with his new crew chiefs, thats why Tobler decided to retire he knew he was leaving things in good handsNo offence people but What do these conversations that you are posting have to do with Ron Capps' New crew chiefs'???? If you want to post about your loved remembrance, create a new thread!
I'm surprised that Lions hasn't been brought up yet.
