We have been told that in the coming season in the cockpit dregster Bob Vandergriff Racing (BVR) takes young promising racer Leah Pritchett. Before that, the team has been the main driver was out of the three-time champion Larry Dixon. The head of the team at the same time mentioned that the veteran remains in the composition of the stables in «any capacity». However, recently it was reported that last year, finishing in fourth place in the Top Fuel class Dixon is quite clearly shown the door.
«I know all of this kitchen, I'm in this business is not the first day, and not even the first decade, the driver commented. — Of course, I am discouraged. Last year was the first for the BVR, and I had high hopes for further cooperation. In any case, I do not hold much evil and upset if the team will not be able to finish the championship in the first or second place, because I believe they have everything you need for this. »
Currently, Larry is in search of the team, he could be useful, given its extensive experience, technical knowledge and profound involvement in all the processes of this motorsport discipline.
«Despite everything, I updated my license, but it is necessary to be realistic. It is not simple. Kenny Bernstein and Don Prudhomme in his time gone from the sport, having thrown all attempts to find sponsors, and now Alan Johnson literally bending over backwards to find a source of funding for his team. And the legendary John Force has to be very difficult before the championship. These are the realities. And it turned out in the cold in January, we should not have illusions. »
However, it is likely that the veteran still appears on some of Event NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series 2016 driving dregster, albeit not as a permanent pilot of one of the teams, because this is how the driver spent three seasons in the period from 2012 to 2014.
