    Absolute Shame!

    For such a Professional and Top Team to end in such a manner is totally shocking! I've been around awhile and have seen many teams come & go but never, ever saw this coming!!! Yes, the economy has taken a toll on alot of us, but I know that David Powers will come back even stronger when the economy allows. My Godson, Gary A. Pritchett, (AKA: Little Bear, Fresh Prince) was given the opportunity to work for Mr. Powers for the last 2 years and it was quite an experiment, I must say. Talking about first class, they had it going on! So, of course Gary is looking for a new adventure in racing. I hope someone will pick him up because he is a very hard dedicated worker. He's got his Alcohol Funny Car license and I'm sure he's ready for a Fuel ride if I can find him one. Watch out for him!!!
    Merry Christmas & Have A Safe Happy New Year

    Bottom Line

    Fuller losing his ride couldnt have happened to a better Guy.
    Hope no one is stupid enough to put him behind the wheel of an Alky Car.
    He Should go to the Stands and watch that is where that big mouth of his belongs.

    wow, a kinda rough on the little fella arent ya??? I dont think he will be in anything that would require him to have any cash outlay.Last i heard he could not pay attention let alone race car expenses.He did purchase a different house in LV hopefully he can hang on to it till he gets a "JOB".But with the economy in the tank that may be hard to do.

    Fuller

    Looks like "Hot Rod" got the short end of the stick? Thinks he's feeling a little bit "shorted" on his driving stint with DPM? It's a shame to see a very talented crew and crew chief get booted in the biscuits like that, my friend Gary is a hard working, talented kid who deserves a shot at a top team. As for Fuller, he can now hang out with Bazemore...

    Did you ever hear the Comments or read them that Fuller said about the Alcohol teams, drivers and cars. That schmuck deserves all the abuse he gets here. Id tell him the same if i saw him at the races in the pits. Hes a loser. Like Cort Mac and Selzi said you earn your strips racing here in these ranks. The Alcohol classes are where drivers are made.
