Larry Dixon, Jr. told Torco's CompetitionPlus.com said that he's uncertain at this time about his future in the sport because of Skytel’s involvement beyond the 2007 season.

“I have no idea on that stuff but Snake says we will be just fine,” Dixon said. “My contract option runs out October 1, so I am sure I will find out soon. Thirty-days from now I will know what my plan is for the future.”

Dixon confirmed the Skytel sponsorship was a one-year deal.

We asked Dixon if he felt Prudhomme would run the car without a sponsor in 2008 as was speculated for 2007 prior to the announcement of Skytel.

“Would you run a website with no sponsors?” he asked.

“Don Prudhomme has been in business for a long time and we saw him sit out in 1986. When his Funny Car program went from two to one, he didn’t run a Funny Car just for the sake of running one. He runs his business no different that John Force or Kenny Bernstein. This is his business and not a hobby. I understand that and I wouldn’t expect it any different. He’s worked to hard in his life and has gotten some fine things and I wouldn’t want to see him just blow it all for the sake of doing it.”

Dixon has already prepared for his future by investing in real estate in Brownsburg, Indiana, the site of many of today’s nitro teams.

“I had an opportunity to purchase some property,” Dixon said. “I’ve worked in enough shops in the area that I could do something for people that wanted to move in the area that word really well in the area. It has been so far, so good.”

“I see myself not driving a Top Fuel car for the rest of my life and at sometime just want to be able to support my family without having to drive a race car.”
