Dave Connolly moving to top fuel ???

[Alan Roehrich]

Take a look at a past Super Comp champion's average light in Top Fuel. I'm sure the stats are out there.

I think Dave is a great driver, a great racer, and a great guy. But knowing some of the guys in Top Fuel, I figure the driver can only do so much. If you think he's going to be killing the tree with double 00 lights, I don't think even Dave will agree with you.

I think he is also flying a stunt plane in the red bull flying series and doing good.

I'm not taking this very seriously.

The point is, Shawn Langdon had a light not much different than the winner of the race you posted.

I'm a fan of both Dave and his father Ray, both as racers and as people. I just have reasonable expectations of what anyone, even Dave, can do with a Top Fuel car on the starting line. I've talked to my friend Scott Palmer about it several times. People a lot smarter than any of us, with a lot more money, have tried for years to figure out how to get lights better than 0.080 on a consistent basis.

I'd love for Dave to go out and lay down a string of 0.040 or better lights and prove me wrong.

But what I really want is to see Dave have a rock solid competitive ride, for a long time to come.

If Gray Family Motorsports goes with him as primary sponsor I believe he will have a first class ride.

So he is now the first member of the dirty dozen in the fuel ranks?
