Re: *** You heard it here first ****
Man, I wonder what kind of deal you get for an entire race operation, as compared to what was spent. "Not the point", I know...
It sucks, knowing Prudhomme's done, but life goes on. Force has brought a lot to racing....Comment

Re: *** You heard it here first ****
I would think that the shops would be sold off and maybe the parts that arn't compatable. Courtney and Spencer are about the same size, lol. So maybe they can use the same chassis.
It's just too bad someone new didn't buy it, but thats the way its going right now.Originally posted by TCComment

Prudhomme is a business man now. He'll most likely be back in some form or fashion. Probably got an offer he couldn't refuse from Force.Originally posted by LorenLife is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

Re: *** You heard it here first ****
Prudhomme has been a business man for a long time. He quit being a driver and fan decades ago, and it's unfortunate. I know I'm an idealist when it comes to drag racing, but there has to be more to it than just making money. A living is one thing, because we all have to eat, but genuine enthusiasm and excitement for getting to drive the coolest cars on earth is dwindling.
Prudhomme got some money back, will retire, and live like a king for the rest of his life. He ain't poor, that's for sure."A cross thread is better than a lock washer." Earl Lanning...My GrandpaComment

Re: *** You heard it here first ****
Now that he has nothing to keep him busy he needs to take this to some nostalgia events and make a few passes.
Just groovin' to my own tune.Comment
