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.

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

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.

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.

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.
