      Love You John, you have kept my interest in Drag Racing for years. I want you to know it's what you say that keeps my interest. Real is Real even if you don't like it.

    I've had this feeling it's been a hell of a ride ❤

    It was 1998, Grad Night at Disneyland, Graduation class from East County (San Diego). I never got back on the bus to go back to San Diego, but hitchhike to Orange County Raceway to watch John Force, Tom Cooper, ...back then we would put a rag in our back pocket and walk up to the starting line..... too cool. This makes me feel old! I Wish I had a name like John Force...or ? I'm Johnny Onit ...

    Mr. Drag Racing did it again
    I don't think with all his wins and Championships it will be a miracle if it ever gets beaten

    Replace ? No. Fill the seat maybe, but NO-ONE can REPLACE JOHN FORCE. Thanks for the rides John.

    John also said John Force Racing is looking for a Top Fuel driver this was said at the other end when Alan interviewed all the winners. Lyle Barnett who I hope gets it.

      He's a clown that wrecks somebody on a national TV show and won't admit it

    Well, this was 3 weeks ago. Wondering if he's going to call it quits after crashing in VA. USA Today story says this is not as bad a crash as what he suffered in Texas several years ago, but enough to make you think you've done enough after 16 Championships. According to USA Today, he's "still in hospital, but alert". I guess the question now is, is he going to give Height the car keys for Ohio, or Seattle event in July, or is he going to keep going to Pomona after he gets out of hospital? I'm going to guess, knowing how stubborn he is, he drives until Pomona. But I've been wrong before. Sitting in a hospital bed gives you plenty of time to think about the future.

    Very glad that you're going to be ok after your accident. This theory sounds really crazy, but miss karma decided to yank your chain .

    Damn you Force!. No Date set or said, so hold your cards, for bluff effect. One last year?, in 2025?. The Golden Tour?. ALOT of T-Shirts!,,and FANS coming up for the signature. Then you can move into the booth with the Bobsie Triplets, and scream out the wins!, , or putter on Lake Tahoe.
