Thread: ESPN Has qualifying

Tweet

She lost with a .023 to AJ's .047

In the finals Nobile had a .008 to AJ's .033. AJ drove around both of them. They are making some good power in the mopar.

Just a matter of time til Erica scores a win. Those Hemi's are really strong on the big end! Don't think Anderson and Lines are going to walk away with things this year, things are really tight in Pro Stock!!!!

Race recaps are fun, but it's done. Time for gossip.

My first thought yesterday morning when I read the Richards "resigned" was, hmmmm, wonder if Schmacher has Coils phone number? Then Capps jokes about it in the booth with the announcers...hmmmm, again. Coil may be enjoying retirement and not having the grind of travel and the rest of the yaya..............but then there is that competitive spirit that needs to be fed.......

I was thinking after seeing Capps in the booth and hearing his comments that Richards was already tired of the road and it's grind. Maybe they want to retire? And does anyone know what his wife does for the team? I have a couple thoughts but this is a family show..

I believe Kim is a clutch specialist and was supposedly training someone on those duties----

But after the same thing happening at the same spot/distance and time, it looks like clutch mal function, but I would be looking at the ignition/fuel management part of th MSD-----

Didn't they win at the fall LAS race???? sould of been a simple reload of that data/tune-----

ALSO--Capps last year a few times later part of season had some remarks about Beckman that made it sound like everything wasn't smoothe in that part of town------

She was Dick LaHaie's only crew when he was running Top Fuel in the 80's and 90's. I believe that she is more than qualified to be on any crew.

Kim is Dick LaHaie's daughter and has been around nitro racing her entire life. I agree with NTFDAY, she is definitely qualified.

I didn't realize Kim was Kim LaHaie! I would agree she should be infinately qualified!

I also have to agree that managing six drivers egos would be a handful!

I would be surprised if Coil took the job. If he did I'd be double surprised if he stayed very long. I think he would leave for the same reason Tim left.

did you see Antron's tire come apart??? back to tire issues-----look for some big time restraints coming---

I wonder how many passes were on that set.

I missed that. What round was it? I watched the replay on ESPN, so I skipped a few spots, must have skipped too much.

I did see the tire fail. The cords were left exposed with the "tread" area missing. Looked more like Goodyear had sum splainin' to do Lucy!
