Erica & Greg? - Page 12

scott gray · 08-03-2012, 11:38 PM

Greg Anderson, wether you like it or not assembled a team that forever changed the face of prostock, while Erica Enders just remains a pretty face. Greg is the essence of the sport ,he can do everything on that car while Erica is just a driver who happens to have some kind of appeal (to who I dont know) , she couldn't walk a step in his shoes. Im not one to toot someones horn but all this bashing is just jealousy. I never thought I would see the day when drag racing would turn into a popularity contest like American Idol. Greg may not be the best loser (and he aint no loser) but someone who puts their heart and soul into this may have a different perspective as someone who casually observes the situation.It's a shame that the REAL RACERS who do everything are getting bad ink to the puppets that drive because it's a good business decision and they're marketable.The bottom line ,if you can't do it all your a poser and the REAL RACERS wont respect you, and it seems as there are not many left.

Well they did what they wanted to do...What a great publicity stunt...Just like NASCAR's "Have at it boys" but, this is ladies and boy's....My three cents worth...

So I just learned that Jeg Coughlin Jr. is not a REAL RACER, I'm glad someone pointed that out for me lol.

You all do know that Troy Humphrey (sp?) is Greg's father-in-law, right? You don't think that maybe he was helping fund Greg in the begining?
Give Erica some props. She has been working hard to be successful. Congratulate her for the success and move on.

Copperhead: the big difference in all the names you mentioned is that they are all winners, even Brandon to a point. Tony has won championships and so has Jeggie, along with showing he can not only drive anything but can win in it. So what has Erica done; oh thats' right she won one race in 122 tries please.

I don't know I pretty much believe a monkey could drive one. The deal is who can bring the money to the table gets the ride.

Sid Waterman, said that about Top Fuel, but Pro Stock is a different animal not so easy to drive and even harder to win.

Greg shoulda spoke to Erica before ESPN, but since he did.

Gary Gerould should have said
"Lighten up Francis" LMAO.

I like Greg and all who run pro stock. But a stupid move, I guess any publicity.......
what does Warren have to say........
