Front line intel reports Lindsay Woods will drive for Darien & Meadows this year...

What?

Will,
Losing a pretty face? No, I'm not going anywhere.

Good one Marty

Well I don't know how Darien gets all these women around him, but more luck to him. I think its odd that Jerry Barker will be her primary sponsor and not CSR. Im almost certain CSR will be on the car, but I would think her dad would want some exposure with it. She has been showcased quite a lot for a super comp racer, I can only imagine how the press will deal with her in an A/Fuel.

$100 bucks says it will be Darien Racing. No meadows. Any takers?

 

hehe

Darien Racing? I dunno... its against my religion to gamble, but I would say he may keep it Darien & Meadows just to not deal with the hassle of establishing a new name. I hear Meadows is out, but I don't know if his name will be dropped.

I think she will do a great job

 

I live in Utah, everything's against my religion.

I belive you mean Damen & Meadows. (Seriously, check the entry list for Pomona) Does this mean I get $100?

I'm bummed that Jerry won't be driving himself since it was his name on the entry list.

As for Lindsey, never met her, but if she sits in Dariens car, I'm sure the A/F car will make her look flawless.

I was looking through an old Jr. Drag racing magazine the other day and I saw these names either in the featured drivers or results sections:

J.R. Todd
Shawn Langdon
Del Cox Jr.
Kyle Rizzoli
Lindsey Wood


They were all between 13-17 then. Just thought it was interesting.

As for the press coverage, they love anything new and different. A girl driving in TAD is neither new or different, the driver is both though. Some families just push the three daughters driving race cars thing a little harder than others. (Pause, think, OK you got that) Hopefully Lindsey takes a path like Troxel who has always been out to win not just get on TV, sell T-shirts, and make money. The fact that Troxel's a girl helps her get exposure but she doesn't jam it down your throat.

HAHA! Utah?!?!

Flash, I had to laugh when I saw you post that heading. I happen to be Mormon too (actually planning on transferring to BYU next fall), and am well aware of the "everything is against my religion" line.

As for the 5 people you listed... I knew Del, Kyle and Shawn way back when and have nothing but good stuff to say about all of them. I am sure at least one of those three will have a spot in the professional categories for a while.

Meadows new driver

I just want to know,,,is he just and old pervert,,,or does he just prefer a girl driver,,,maybe they just get more publicity he needs for sponsors??

I don't know Lindsay,,but I hope she does well in a new class for her,,best of luck and give the boys Hell.

 

pervert? I think not...

I doubt Darien is a pervert. This is his job and you take what you get, and he happened to get a string of women. He is a very great guy and he practically conditions drivers for the pros. Look at his list... Lucas, Troxel, Force, Scelzi, Bernstein, Pedregon. And after meeting his wife, who is both nice and pretty, Im sure he's satisfied.

CJ,

Sorry to disappoint, I'm not mormon but living in Utah I might as well be.

As for Darien, he doesn't go looking for drivers to put in the seat. People give him $$$$$$$$$$ and he lets them drive his car. He has no preference, male or female.

Flash

 

Utah and not mormon?!?!

haha, thats cool... I have that Mormon condition where I assume everyone in Utah is LDS ...

As for Darien having drivers come to him with money, I am well aware of it. If I had $250,000 lying around Lindsay would be still looking for a team. If your looking for a nice future in drag racing, Darien is the man to go to. Im actually really happy someone is using him; I was just talking with someone a few days ago and as far as we knew one of his crew was to pilot the car for at least the winters. It would have been an awful waste of talent if that team sat out a year, but then again Im sure Jerry wouldn't mind a break with the schedual he had with Ashley... John had to be taking her to races for publicity, because she went to so many events that couldn't even give her points.

What division will they run?

 

division?

Well Woods runs Div. 2 now, and Darien ran Div. 2 last year... so I would think they would stick with Div. 2.

Is it just me, or is A-Fuel becoming the new home for ex-S/C Female racers?

 

A-fuel and S/C are just stab and steer...

 

That might of opened up a whole can of worms

 

No wonder I can't win. If you ever see me at the track, come find me and teach me how to "stab." Maybe I'm not "stabbing" correctly. And I want a refund on this Biondo practice tree too. And what is Fletcher talking about with this "tighten it up or cut him loose" finish line stuff? Maybe in his next column he can give us Super Comp racers "stab" lessons.<br>
I'm pretty sure I have been steering good, but who knows?<br>
