Lets here it guys!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

No hater here, have met him and Ashley and truely nice people. I am glad he won, just proves with hard work anything is still possible in this lovely country. P.S. somebody needs to remind the pres of that.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Everything fell into place at the right time.And he did do what he had to.He didn't back into it.
I was glad for Bill Reichert too.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Definitely happy for Reichert...

I am one of the biggest John Force fans out there... And I am not the type of person to be a fan of any one. Not a hater at all.. I just dont throw words out like hero often.. But he is one for me. I liked him way before the John Force Show days. He has to be the most determined man in drag racing.


I have never met Ashely. Back in her A/Fuel days she pitted next to my dad at a divisional and apparently fell in love with his puppy. Go figure.. I was not at that race :(

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Don't hate him at all - yesterday he won the championship the old fashioned way by earning it and he and the whole team can be proud - i was more than concerned when during his last two interviews he was out of breath for a long time and seemed like a heart attack could happen at any second............

The entire championship deal made for great TV coverage yesterday .............15 of them for him - way to go John .

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

I just hate his teeth.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Maybe he should get HP tomorrow. I mean he went faster than the rest. So factor him. I think he earned what he got.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Wasnt that a NEW blown 2011 Mustang AA/SA that he was driving without using the 50% throttle setting?

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

I would of really liked to see Hagan win.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Not a John Force hater, just tired of all of the JFR hype on ESPN. There are other racers aren't there? You wouldn't know it watching the broadcasts.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

John Force has always been a gentleman to my team, a fan really. I had him sign my shirt then he had me sign his! So I had him sign my glove compartment door. Watch out for him on a pit bike, however, he drives at full throttle and pays little attention to where he's going! Way to go, John!

Before Tiger got so full of himself wouldn't you say it was the same thing?Or Michael Schumacher in F-1.Happens all the time.
If you look back Force was the one who brought back drag racing from the dead.This is his payback.Not bad for an old truck driver.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Would have rather seen Ashley win the crown.................but you can't win a fuel class nowadays with .100 lights.:rolleyes:

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

I hold nothing against John and all he has done , for drag racing. I, also wouldn't want to see anyone go thru all the rehab he did after his crash. But I did change the channel when the Idiot Page went on for the 4th time about it.
I met John in a hotel bar back many years ago, and he was very funny and fun to talk to. I have always liked him, especially against the mob teams, before he got his own, and the biggest one.

But I get tired of watching the NHRA JOHN FORCE Show, and a race breaks out. I dont watch it much anymore. Just doesnt fill the bill, for me.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Don't hate anyone....but this countdown system sucks. You race hard all year and all that goes to bye bye when the count down starts. If you want a countdown setup you need to eliminate all the non-players to be fair. NHRA should stop trying to be like NASCAR !

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

No hating here. I'm glad he won, I also feel bad for the Hagan team.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Way to go John! #15

I would just like to see Ron Capps win a championship for he gets too old.....

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Where's Twit Bazemore when you need him???????????????????????

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

This is funny no matter what you think of John;
Friday my girlfriend waits in the line up to get his autograph. She gets to the front of the line and tells him she wants his wife’s autograph! He was more than pleased to get his wife out of the motor home.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

hello, a few years ago, I was in seattle for the national event, john force had his car in the staging lanes. he went back to his pit spot for some reason. anyway,as he was hurrying back to the staging lanes a young boy, bout 10 years old asked him to sign his poster, john was in a hurry, but he dropped down on a knee and signed it , told him he had to get ready to race. he thanked that boy and went to the lanes. I thought, he hasn't forgot how he got where he came from. I've seen other pro racers brush kids aside. I was impressed and a young boy will be his fan forever.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Back in the 90's I saw him at Ennis signing anything and everything well after the race had been called for rain. He had a crowd lined up and was having a good time while his crew stood in the trailer door and laughed right along with everyone. He is Great for our sport.
I liked the comments he made on the show about rehab. Been there, done that and saw what he saw. I was in a large room with my family and when that came on they turned to me and said "He didn't look as bad as you". I responded: "Looks can fool you". He worked as hard because what he said was the way you have to approach it. He got it right, It's a mental thing to get past the pain and get better. Be healed and be back to function at your previous level is the goal. World Champ...By gosh, I think OLD John has made it! :~)

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

As much as I dislike fuel cars I have to say John Force is a true racer and a Champion. He started from nothing and made it. He came back from serious injury to race again and made the fuel funny cars safer. He talks a lot but its part of the game. Even though he wouldnt know me from nothing Im proud to say.......Congratulations to a true Champion.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

I was on pins & needles hoping for John to get his 15th, and he didn't disappoint. He deserved it for a thousand reasons, and I'm glad the broken shift lever didn't wind up costing him the Championship. I've met John and Ashley on several occasions, and their popularity is easy for me to understand... they are REAL. John genuinly loves the sport, the fans, and his sponsors, and he RESPECTS them all from the little kids & Sportsman racers to the megabucks sponsors and his fiercest competitors. He has been the greatest influence on the sport and it's best spokesman for the last 20 years... Gongratulations GFR!!!!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

I'm not a Force hater...peronally I'd would rather watch the
nostalgia Funny Cars and Pro Mod cars run.

#$%T Can all the drama. It's all about the big $$$$$.
They should be required to cannonball a full bottle of that powerade
at the end of the track during each interview.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

If there are any JF haters out there, then I wonder where they were when John struggled to just win his first event ?
That man was a "bridesmaid" for so many years and he has paid his dues for sure.

I am happy for him and admire his dedication and hard work.

Congrats on your 15th JF !!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

One Thing For Sure,

He's good for the sport of Drag Racing.
He never forgets to thank his sponsors.
He is a personality.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

That's 3 things, but all true!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

absolutely!!!!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Who ever is a Force hater is not a fan of the NHRA. Big shocker on the home page of NHRA Coil takes a year off. I just hope he returns to JFR and does not sell out!!!!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Don't hate the guy, just don't let him have the microphone or at least cut him of at 10 words per day!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Like John Force...just very tired of Paul Page and the John Force Show.

....but if I could only get rid of one or the other......I would dump Paul Page in a heart beat!!!!!!!!!

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Hagen is on Comp + crying that they played games on him when he lost first round.Oh
boo hoooooooo.I think his feelings were hurt.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

So if you are not happy with your job and you go to work for some one else you are a sell out? I hope Coil goes where ever it makes him happy. If it was not for Coil John would still be a nobody.

I was a huge John Force fan untill my wife bought me one of the John Force tapes and the whole thing was like a add for Phillip Morse. When he was the old truck driver he was great now he is the biggest corprate kiss *** I have ever seen. I know you have to keep the sponsors happy but he just makes me nauseas.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Glad to see Castrol is back! 5 more years.

When the same person wins all the time, people tend to lose interest.

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

Are you referring to Dan Fletcher?

Re: John Force Haters Enter:
 

I started racing brackets back in the 70s at Orange County International Raceway. John would show up at the bracket races on Sat to test his Funny Cars. He was struggling and working hard to fix it.
Good Job John.
