What do you guys think about this "team"? Alan Johnson and Larry Dixon Jr. are on the pay roll.
I think that they are good enough that if I was going to start a new team I'd accept resumes from them---
a partial list of guys who have driven for me
Rick Ramsey
Steve Carbone
Tom Ferrao
Jake Johnson
Neil Lefler
Dwight Hughes
John Stewart
Dale Pulde
Mike Snively, Billy Meyer and Pat Foster were all supposed to drive our funny car but other things happened prior to there first race
Good to see Dixon back in a competitive car! Anxious to see how their 2nd year goes, somebody has to give the Sarge a run for his money!!!!
The Sheik's got the money and Johnson and Dixon are two of the best. "Blackie" Carbon wasn't too shabby as a driver
You guys might want to check out Americas' Most Wanted website and checkout who else works for the Al-Anabi folks driving Pro-Mod cars to entertain the Sheiks in Dubai,very interesting profile on tonights episode.:(
seen it...Thats kinda why I asked. I know these guys are excellent team members but didnt they sell out for the mighty dollar? These guys got history and roots here but race for a sheik. I know this has happened a while back but when I seen the AMW show It hit a little harder. Dont know what to think, maybe you guys can enlighten me.Quote:

Nothing I guess. Just seems a little weird to me I guess. Thats why I asked to inlighten me on this topic. Dont think Alan Johnson has anything to do with the pro mod team. I was mainly asking because the funding is coming from the same place, a sheik.Quote:

The scumbag that is living the goodlife with Al-Anabi sponsorship(in big letters on the side of the racecar) after injuring 2 people for life and killing another has the Sheiks money in his pockets,unless they show some balls and publicly denounce Him there is no way I will root for them! Go Tony!!!Quote:

I guess once you're convicted by America's most wanted, everyone who has ever known you is a scumbag!!!!
I think, on NHRA.com, they mentioned Frank Manzo as helping Shiek Kahlid with the alcohol funny he drives in Quatar.
No real info and not much to add. I have seen them run, and impressed with performance of every team, and NO sponorship on any of the cars, just the sheiks name on side of each car.

Dont think I will "root" for them either ,even though they have enough money from the blood of their people to beat probably all of the U.S. teams. Also I see their flag is before the U.S. flag on Alans web site, USA reads left to right. Ill move on.Quote:
