    The best ever Frank "Ace" Manzo has been running BAE stuff for years and a pretty good advertiser for Brad over the years.

    Is that still the case or is there or will there eventually be AJ power in the frame rails?

    That's a great question and angle that I never thought of with Frank's new alliance with AlAnabi and therefore AJ. Hmmm, have to keep an eye out for the BAE near the front wheel well this weekend.

    Great question! I didn't see a BAE logo on the car.

    Not sure how close the design or differences.

    AJ of course had the alcohol Olds combination that several teams use to run and the hemi stuff like Mark White was running last year. Not sure of the combustion chamber design on his hemi stuff - but would guess it can make some power.

    I wonder who has Mark White's motors from last year?

    To run the way they ran this weekend with zero TAFC testing, I'd say they're still running BAE stuff. Maybe the AJPE stuff will come later in the year?

    Anyone know for sure?

    The Sheik is running BAE in his pro mods. If Frank switched John Glade would retire.

    I highly doubt Manzo would switch to AJ power. He told me he is going to drive for 2 more years then become a full time Crew Chief. He also told me they are going to hire another big name Crew Chief that is going to blow everyone's mind for future expansion plans.

    who me?

    I don't think I'm on their radar right now, unless they are looking for a parts washer...

    On the other hand, I'd go be Frank's parts washer for a few years to learn from the "MAN"

    well i have been the parts washer for Frank off and on for almost 30 years i cannot or would not speak for Frank or John or anyone but i would say my opinion is that Frank is still pretty happy where he is..... and let me tell ya Will is the first thing you will learn is work hard.....not that you dont already but you would see why he is who he is mainly because of work ethic !!!

    And when they outspend and out brainpower everyone that would race against them, most will decide it's a no-win deal because they can't compete against an entire country in the other lane (and work a real job at the same time) and go somewhere else to play. Then they can win them all.
