Default Fired over Fuel...

Have any of you heard about our tech guy Terrell Klassen getting fired after Norwalk? Rumor has it some guys we're asking questions about the VP Fuels vs. The Sunoco Fuels because they wanted to make their cars better. Apparently he didn't give the answer that NHRA wanted him to say & they fired him over the phone after his flight home...and gave no thought to the 23 years of service he put in to our sport...

When I heard this news I couldn't believe it! He was one of the tech guys that was always out to make the sport better and a big fan of sportsman racers.

I just believe that if someone dedicates as much as 23 years to our sport they deserve more than a kick out the door for telling the truth!

I heard the same thing whenever we got to Chicago. Really sucks. He was an awesome guy for fuel check.

Terrell is a good person and will be missed by all at the races. We wish the best to him and his family.

Exclamation Re: Fired over Fuel...

I don't know the entire story nor was I there but I find the story credible and Terrell Klassento be a class act and has always been one to help better the sport for all classes of car from street to top fuel.
I think NHRA has let a few people get to much power under their respective belts and really screwed up on this one. I don't know how may teams, owners etc can afford to take a chance on a fuel being sub par and destroying a motor because of it. Most of us need every advantage we can get and operate on s show-string budget. I for one would like to demand that NHRA hire Terrell Klassen back without prejudice.

That is Bad When a Man Can't be Honest with a Racer. that fuel is not as good as VP!!!!! let's face it if you don't pay off the NHRA that happens. just look at the seat belt pay off.
