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 !

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

Way to go John! #15

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

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

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.

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.

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! :~)

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.

Which pro drivers would have won championships if there were no "Countdown" or "points take-away system" ?
