The Force cars are entered in lots of races, just not the two Indy races.

They were entered in all races pre Covid-19. Everything’s changed now

How can they run the Denver nat event and the 2nd Indy race on the same weekend? I see that Antron Brown is entered in both races. That's going to be quite an accomplishment.
I thought that they cancelled the Denver race. I've heard that they won't have the Brainerd race unless they can open up the campground and the zoo. Without that I don't think they can't break even on the race. Doesn't look too good.

Denver is scheduled for 7-9 August. Well...at least the NHRA schedule has it then...I do see where the event registration website has it in July.

Top fuel will survive just fine without Force and Schumacher. If alcohol guys and small fuel teams felt they had a chance to win they'd show up to race.

Now NHRA is a different story. All those executives with big salaries would have to take a pay cut to make it work and reduce their bloated bureaucracy. That's probably not going to happen.

Wouldn't it be great if NHRA moved out of California and landed in Indy and cut loose all of those "big shots" and marketing people who are worthless? Maybe then they'd have some money and a vision to keep them from continuing to circle the drain.
