good one Randy

There is a rule to not manipulate the outcome of a race

but when you put Manzo on a race THAT in ITSELF is a way to manipulate the Race.

MANZO on a promod ?!! Whatch out.....

 

The Sheik did certainly look interested in what Manzo was doing all weekend..

 

EVERY ONE has there price. Frank is smart business man, so no matter
what his decision is, it will be a good one for him.

Good Luck Frank.

 

ahab the arab

Let me tell you bout ahab the arab, the sheik of the burning sand,
He had emeralds and rubies just a-dripping off a him and a ring on every finger of his hand.
He wore a big old turban wrapped around his head, a scimitar by his side
And every evening about midnight hed jump on his camel named clyde.
And ride silently through the night to the sultans tent
Where he would secretly meet up with fatima of the seven veils.
She was the swinginest number one dancer in the sultans whole harem.
It was like him and her they had a little adam going, you see,
Behind the old buggers back.
And you could hear him talking to his camel
And as he rode out across the dunes past the oil wells
His voice would cut through the still night desert air
And hed say, maaaaaaa oyy oyy oyy !!!
Which is arabic for oh, baby ...
And clyde would say, yewrah raaaoww uh uh uh uh uh!

Well, he brought his camel to a screeching halt at the rear of fatimas tent,
Jumped off clyde, snuck around the corner and into the tent he went.
There he saw fatima laying on a, on a zebra skin rug,
With rings on her fingers, bells on her toes and a bone in her nose, eeeeyye.

There she was friends and neighbors, laying there in all her radiant beauty,
She was eating on a raisin, had a grape, and an apricot, and a pomegranate,
A bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three hershey bars, four burritos,
Sipping on a frozen margarita, listening to a transistor radio,
Watching the grand ole opry, reading rolling stone magazine and singing rocky mountain high.
And ahab walked up to her and he said, yeeeiiaaaahowowhidehowdihi!
Which is arabic for, lets boogie again like we did last summer, baby.
And she said, oh, ahab, ah ha uh, ahab. crazy, baby.

And thats the story about ahab the arab, the sheik of the burning sand,
He had emeralds and rubies just a-dripping off a him and a ring on every finger of his hand.
He wore a big old turban wrapped around his head, a scimitar by his side,
And every evening about midnight hed jump on his camel named clyde ...

 

It's official

http://www.nhra.com/story/2009/9/9/lucas-oil-grants-manzo-release-to-join-al-anabi-racing/

 

My car is already white and is a Monte Carlo. Except for the numbers on the scoreboard at the end of every run LUCAS would never know the difference if he wanted to stay in TA/FC by joining us.

I'm getting rid of my sponsor, too. I'm tired of the checks bouncing that my sponsor, Goodwin Appraisal Service, has been giving me. Hmmm.

"everyone has there price" ???? what in the hell does that mean.

 

Ace Manzo

Ace sold out to this guy. Why doesn't the sheik buy the whole sport.Drag racing is is supposed to be a AMERICAN SPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!(just my thoughts trying not get to political)

 

This is interesting!whenever I see the sheik on tv he looks like a regular guy that likes drag racing so why do people not like him?Its not like he walks around with people bowing to him with a big crown on his head and a shirt saying im the kingalso good for Frank I would love to see him driving a pro extreme car! but it will never happen.

 

I always thought TA/FC was a "pro extreme" car..

Congrats to Frank.

 

I'm not following you here. Who are the "why do people not like him" people?

 

Everyone including Don Hudson looks interested in what Manzo's doing.

 

Look at the bright side. At least there is finally some Mid Eastern $$$ coming BACK to the U.S.

 

Good for Frank
How many fractions of a second do you think this decision took?
I would be proud to burn up the sheiks money...

 

Most of us could only wish a deal like his would come our way. Frank has proven over the years that he has earned this deal and I wish him the best of luck with it.

 

I wish him luck too. Just don't go over to the dark side, Think about what I told you back in the 70's. Gene Terenzio Sr.

 

good for frank! racing on someone else dime and getting paid. sounds good to me.

 

I wish he'd make more solo passes so you could hear his engine better down track.
