Probably told them a bunch of things they didn't want to hear.

so where will he end up......

I'll throw out Larry Dixon / BVR... Might go back now that there is a solid deal. (Maybe wishful thinking)

In a river near his house, fishing.........I'm thinking that's what he really wants to do anyway!

Nothing against Lee Beard, but I hope not. LD and Mike Guger finished the season with some really good numbers, and had a great race with Sarge at the Finals in round 1.

How about Beard tunes Force?

That did not last very long. Wonder what next for a guy with his talent.

NHRA probably didn't want to hear what he had to say on changing the way they race. lol

 

[turbo ken]

The NHRA wants "Yes" men.

Lee was never on staff, he was brought in on a race by race deal as a consultant.

yea right! That would go over like a turd in a punch bowl!

Sounds to me like they got to the end of his contract and they mutually agreed to not renew it. No biggie.

 

[James]

No need for Lee Beard. The big owners, Force, Schumacher, Kallitta run the show.

 

[stitcherbob]

anybody notice that the F/C body blow off situation was never resolved during his tenure?

...or is there anything in the 2015 rulebook about it?

The new 2015 Dodge Funny Car body design, introduced at SEMA recently, is a major improvement in eliminating the dreaded old Dodge "cut on dotted line" body failures right in front of the front window. Hagan says they are much easier to see out of too...
