    Al-Anabi Racing

     



    What do you guys think about this "team"? Alan Johnson and Larry Dixon Jr. are on the pay roll.

    I think that they are good enough that if I was going to start a new team I'd accept resumes from them---

    Good to see Dixon back in a competitive car! Anxious to see how their 2nd year goes, somebody has to give the Sarge a run for his money!!!!

    The Sheik's got the money and Johnson and Dixon are two of the best. "Blackie" Carbon wasn't too shabby as a driver

    seen it...Thats kinda why I asked. I know these guys are excellent team members but didnt they sell out for the mighty dollar? These guys got history and roots here but race for a sheik. I know this has happened a while back but when I seen the AMW show It hit a little harder. Dont know what to think, maybe you guys can enlighten me.

    Nothing I guess. Just seems a little weird to me I guess. Thats why I asked to inlighten me on this topic. Dont think Alan Johnson has anything to do with the pro mod team. I was mainly asking because the funding is coming from the same place, a sheik.
    Here a link to Alan johnsons web site i was reading.

    Oh, I see.... You're automatically a scumbag cuz you sponsor a bad guy Well, put me on the list, about 15 years ago a guy who worked for me got caught robbing a bank, shop's name was on the side of his drag car!!!!!!

    I guess once you're convicted by America's most wanted, everyone who has ever known you is a scumbag!!!!

    I think, on NHRA.com, they mentioned Frank Manzo as helping Shiek Kahlid with the alcohol funny he drives in Quatar.

    No real info and not much to add. I have seen them run, and impressed with performance of every team, and NO sponorship on any of the cars, just the sheiks name on side of each car.

    Dont think I will "root" for them either ,even though they have enough money from the blood of their people to beat probably all of the U.S. teams. Also I see their flag is before the U.S. flag on Alans web site, USA reads left to right. Ill move on.
