Dead on, Jim. Case in point: 2011. Fram/Prestone drops (forces Don Schumacher to drop) grey-haired 40+ Cory McClenathan for young, hip, marketable 20-something Spencer Massey.

Sure is hard to understand why some members think Erica can not drive.She is no over nite wonder and she has paid her dues even before she came to Pro Stock Racing:
1992:Began drag racing at age 8
1993ivision 4 jr dragster champion (8-9 year old class)
1995:Jr dragster driver of the year
2000:NHRA spotsman rookie of the year and became the youngest nhra national event finalist at age 16 in Houston,Texas
2004:Became the 35th woman in nhra history to win a national event at Houston,Texas in supergas
The rest is history in the making and who knows where it will end!

The young people need to be involved with NHRA drag racing or the end result is less than satisfactory. The staging lanes in stock and superstock need to have that influx of young people too.

Not to take away from her accomplishments, but she wasn't the youngest national event finalist. That would be Gary Emmons at age 15 in 1988 at the Cajun Sports Nationals. Speedy Emmons was the youngest national event winner at age 16 in 1984 at the Cajun Sports Nationals.

I think Anderson may watch what he says next time....looks like he's awakened a beast in Erica & Mr. Connelly! Like them or hate them, they have one bad Hot Rod right now!
