If anybody else caught NHRA Today on Sunday you saw that John & team
stayed over. At the last race John had his daughter Ashley warm up his
car,do a burnout & a short 100 foot launch. If Ashley does win the
Alcohol Dragster championship this year wouldn't it be pointless for her
to do TAD again in '06? Obviously John is grooming Ashley to move into
one of the Castrol Nitro Cars. Would John field a (gasp!) 4 car flopper
team or bump one his current drivers? Gotta love that footage of John
freakin' out watching Ashley launch the car. Ed the Ace telling John to
"Calm down,Calm down". lol

4 car team in '07.

Ashley's contract with Mattel (and Force's with Darien and Meadows) runs
through '06 for A/FD.

Read all about it here:

I think that there is a lot of improvement to be had in the Bazemore
camp. It kind of appears to me that Beard has kind of lost the tune up.
Whit is a fair enough driver but the ride is pretty inconsistent.
Nothing really against Beard- sometimes the tune up needs a whole new
approach. Ace ran out of gas over at Snake's operation but is doing
fine for Capps. When both Dupuy and Alan Johnson were hired for there
respective jobs, things turned around quickly. Who? Good question.

What about Ashley over at the Force operation? Judging about how he
acted when she was in the seat for a few quick squirts, I don't think
John's heart is gonna last. They have quite the operation going over
there but maybe a fourth car would be spreading it a bit thin. Wonder
who would tune it? They would hafta hire someone who would fit into
the total scheme of things and get along with Coil and Bernie as well
as all of the other two guys. I think Ashley's ,success is going to
depend on how the rest of the team around her is built- unless is the
John out, Ashley in. Ashley seems to be pretty sharp and is coming
along well but she is being trained by Darien and Meadows- one hell of
a team. Lessee if I have it right- D&M have trained Brandon Bernstein,
Morgan Lucas and Scelzi(?). Not sure about Scelzi but they truly are
the trainers of champions. If the driver has any ability, they are
gonna be right in the hunt.

Now, with Force's other two daughters: Imagine, being 16 and 18 and
your Daddy says, "Here, girls, you can play with your sister's car this
year and I'm gonna buy another one so you don't hafta fight over it.
And Frank Hawley is gonna show you how to drive it, I'm gonna hire
someone to tune it for you and Daddy's sponsors are gonna pay for it
all. And, if you finsh college and get good grades, I'm gonna let you
drive the really fast ones just like I did for your sister."

Life would be good....

miles- just like the ones in his home town...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
