Not a good start for Prock and Son. Should have stayed with JFR?


When everything is coming your way, your probably in the wrong lane.

Smart guys they'll figure it out, but they sure missed this one Larry.

Taska has a lot of money behind him. They felt like they should follow the benjamins.

I did not like them leaving Force Racing so think it is rather funny.

With that said Jimmy Prock is one of if not the best tuners there is. Austin Prock is one of the best drivers. Make no mistake they will figure out new combination and will be competitive. Guaranteed.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Miost everyone has a DNQ. Force, Glidden and lot of the best to ever wear fire suit. With the number iof pieces working to get TF down track it takes one to screrw it up I was told that by the man in this story himself(Jimmy Prock). He was comparing TF and AF at the time.
I would no be betting against them to many times . I would bet he has a win or twom before end of year. Hell he probably had damn good idea what was going wrong or where to find it before Semi was off the property.
Sometimes you have tp payinto the bank befpore make withdraw. Few years greatness will bring some struggles for the best there is in anything.

The only issue I have with last weekend was Austin crying like spoiled brat and blaming the NHRA for the car smoking the tires Q4 when Jack Beckman who was also not in the show ran right behind Prock in the same lane and got in at the #9 spot.

Did not get to see the race but did see an article on one of the online mags and they did say the track had terrible bald spots. For the fuel cars they have the power to blow the tires off near the finish line so track is critical. Yet as some have said others got down same track.

It seems that NHRA should have provided a better track surface. There has been a few races through the years that winner is basically determined by who ever gets lane choice because of track condition. Part of the reason every qualifying pass is important.

Still think it is rather humorous that they DNQ but I would never bet against the Procks in the end.

Exactly.
Shouldn't have been facing Q4 not already in the field.

I'm just shocked that they had a full field of cars. Eek

19 entries, Prock was #19 (and not even close) after 4 hits, wow!
