Was anyone else as uncomfortable as I was...

Dixon is just like a quarterback....if you get all the glory when things go good you have to suck it up and take it when it goes bad. So no, don't feel sorry for the guy.

P.S. I'm not so sure I'm liking the idea of some foreign sheik owning a race team either. Don't think I'll be a big Dixon/Al-Anabi rooter this year.

What's the difference in this guy sponsoring a race team versus Quaker State? Has he done something wrong or on some watch list here in the states? Or is it that he looks like alot of the terrorist? maybe I am reading between the lines here but your comment sounds borderline discriminatory. If the Sheik is legit then his money is golden, I don't think Alan Johnson, Larry Dixon, and Del Worsham want to race so bad that they would take money from a terrorist. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but I think you might want to re think or reword what you said there Julie.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but do you ever wonder why so many non-americans hate us????????? Why spread hatred?

Don't judge a book by its cover. I personally could care less if he or she is brown, yellow or purple or green.

I don't think these guys hate americans as it seems they have surrounded themselves with some of the best american racers out there. But to anwer your questions, yes alot of the mid east folks dislike americans and will always do that, we can only hope AJ's alliance will help bridge that gap.

Hey anyone know a Sheik interested in buying one of those new COBRA JETS i would gladly be the driver

Sorry, I did not mean my comments to sound discriminatory as I am anything but. I have many friends and clients of various ethnicities. Call me old-fashioned but I prefer racecar sponsors to be companies (preferable automotive related) that are using drag racing as a venue to showcase/sell their products as opposed to individuals who have money to burn in a hobby.

Sorry to bust your bubble but we (americans) are hated all over the world. I spent 24 years in the Army and lived all over the world and the only people that seemed to like us were the Germans and Japanese.....go figure.

Hell even the Mexicans and Canadians don't like us...if ya can't get along with your neighbors how do you think others feel.

If the guys a racer he's ok by me! Gotta admit, he doesn't mess around, he went out and got the best so he could have bad fast race cars! Not to mention he's giving alotta people a job. Thats money coming back into the US economy and even better in Drag Racing! I bet their dragstrip in Qatar is pretty nice! Maybe someday IHRA will have a national event there :P
