  • In a thrilling final round between teammates, the legendary John Force knocked off Robert Hight in Funny Car at New England Dragway, powering to his 153rd career victory on Sunday at the TascaParts.com NHRA New England Nationals presented by Bandero Premium Tequila.
    Force, NHRA’s all-time wins leader, went 3.972-seconds at 327.51 mph in his 11,000-horsepower PEAK/BlueDEF Platinum Chevrolet Camaro SS to edge out teammate Hight’s 3.993 at 323.35. It gives the John Force Racing team its third straight win in 2021 and hands Force his second victory of the year. Force, who is now second in points, got past Cory Lee, J.R. Todd, and Terry Haddock to reach the final round for the 259th time in his career. He never trailed against Hight, winning for the second time in Epping and picking up the victory in Funny Car’s 900th career race.

    YES!!!!! Come on John, ya need to get another championship (or 7, lol)! Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of Robert Hight, ans I'm a massice fan of most of the drivers out there right now,, and who are about to be, but John is THE man. 😁I also hope one day soon we have 30+ funny cars and 30+ top fuel cars or something spectacular like that at events.. same with the Heritage., I hope it gets more events and car counts (same with the regionals, too.. like what the heck happened to all these events that had Top Alcohol, now not having them and (over the years) turning divisional into Regional...which is now back to being divisional...which isn'teven really the way divisionals should be.. they used to have amazing car counts, etc.. any, for all intents and purposes, I'll stop digressing, lol) ...maybe with Tony Stewart doing the Top Fuel deal, it will give the NHRA, drag racing as a whole and all the extra exposure and attention it used to have and 110% deserves.. and get more people to experience the magic that is NHRA drag racing (and screwblown methanol or nitro of any kind!!)
    ...and I know people LOVE to complain about 'the good old days' and whatever.. but one could say that the 70's were the Golden Era, the 90's were the Golden Era, the 2000's were the Golden Era, but it is extremely extremely subjective! So must be more constructive and positive with any messages we want to send the NHRA, screaming and yelling doesn't solve anything other than allowing people that are new to the sport to see drama, which is something we need a whole lot less of in life! No sanctioning body is perfect, but with Camping World on board and everything they're doing, and in a short and concise opinion, as long as the drivers are being paid properly, the tracks are safe for the cars that are running on them, there's proper safety teams there, etc. than that's what we need to focus on. There's always going to be parody issues and things like that, but the car should have as much power as they want, people don't want to see 300 they want to see at least 330, don't make 300 the magic number, it's no different than the rule being changed so pop alcohol will never go into the four-second range, we all know they can do that, realistically it shouldn't matter anymore since Top Fuel goes to 1000', but no one goes to a national event or a regional event to see 6 second passes or five second passes they go to see people try to break the 3.60 barrier in 1000' at no less than 320+ 330+ (weather/track permitting) and low, 5-second, 270ish from top alcohol.. nobody wants to see top Sportsman run 7.40's, lol
    I will quit babbling but, as long as all these sanctioning bodies are doing things legally, getting good car counts/more than 1 type of exhibition exhibition vehicle or vehicle type, pay the dang drivers properly (and especially don'tlie about how much and when they will get paid), getting good fan turnout, keeping the pits open for no additional cost...hint...because "every ticket is a pit-pass" literally is LITERALLY a GENIUS way to get people to come back! People never believe that you could get as close as you could, let alone have a beer with a driver after Friday night qualifying or something like that, even if you don't know them personally. Things of that nature, which you don't get from any other sport! 😊
    Nice job to all those that keep dysport going, safe, allow cars to run multiple sanctioning bodies and all that good stuff. Everybody stay safe and enjoy yourselves out there :-)
