FEEDBACK ARTICLE - GARY SCELZI ON LICENSING PROCEDURES 

Hooray for Gary Scelzi.  Finally someone who thinks about something other than the money.  Some owners should be slapped for putting people in cars just for the $$$ or because it's a girl, etc.  Keeping up with another team may spell disaster in the coming years.  Time to let logic override ego for once.  Bravo Gary! - Pat Green, Medford, OR


I agree totally with Scelzi, a person should not just jump into a really fast car. An example is John Force; he is taking a crewchief who has never really driven anything and putting him in a fuel funny car. It doesn't take a super smart person to see where this is going to end up -- another accident waiting to happen. There are alot of talented drivers out there that would be a better choice. - Ron Baylis, White, GA.   


Great points. That's why I'm attending Frank Hawley's School after the season is over. - Dirk Olsen, Colorado Springs, CO

I concur and have so for sometime now. I've been around the sport for 45 plus years. I understand the economics and the resources needed to fund a fuel operation. Make no mistake about it, these machines are a hand full for most and more than manageable for a few.  I believe in time certain shoes have the ability to be great like her father, but in the mean time let's hope and pray no one gets badly hurt during training. Just a thought. - Dan Carpenter, Westminster Colorado

I'm glad Gary spoke up and said what needed to be said. He is 100% right.I also believe in crawling before you can walk and walking before you can drive. Its scares me to think about lining up beside someone with NO experience and I only go 6 seconds, I can’t imagine 4 seconds and a newbie in the other lane.

Go get ‘em Gary and glad you will be back next year. - Annette Summer, Aiken SC

I agree with Gary 100%, There are people with money that can buy a seat. With 0% seat time. I'm crew chief on a Top Fuel Hydro Drag Boat and I think we see the same type of deals happening in our sport. The guy that brings the money to the table is the guy who gets the seat and I don't feel that that's right either. For the same reason Gary feels the way he does, My driver is in the other lane and could be a target if the other person doesn't know when to lift or get out of the throttle. When he or she starts to get in trouble and the boat gets stupid. Just my thoughts and two cents. - Dave Glass, Bakersfield, CA.
