Hey guys - if you want to be mad at one of the pros - try Bob Vandergriff. The Pros had a meeting with NHRA a few months ago and someone asked a question concerning the future of sportsman at National Events - Vandergriff was quoted as saying that if it were up to him - sportsman would not be allowed on the property. I now ship with FED-EX.

Ron: That's our normal as well, MOST weekends I don't get online at all. Lane had called to let us know to watch the coverage because he'd heard about Force's Crash. Either way, I still get upset when the Pro's forget who helps pay the bills, not just their sponsors.

Larry: I'd never heard about Vandergriff's comments, and here I was cheering him on in the final last night, now I feel stupid! Not that I don't have that feeling more often than not! LOL!!! :-(

I'm, sorry Force got hurt! And you can bet your bottom dollar that Ron did not know about it when he began this thread. Nor is there any sense in trying to link Ron's post to Forces bad luck. Just some guys trying to make a mess of things.

As the story goes - about ten years ago. A collection "bucket" for an injured Sportsman racer was placed near John Force's pit at Pomona. Force noticed the "bucket" and asked his staff what it was doing there - they told him the story. His response... Get rid of the collection bucket and let the Sportsman racers take care of themselves.

SSlady, thanks for your post. How did you find out about the Force family interest in the injured young lady?

Thumprint, two wrongs don't make it right? Do you think Ron did something wrong?

No Bruce, It wasnt what Ron said it was what was said about Sportsman racers, so instead of being a retard and kicking guy when he's down we'll let that 1 slide.

Glad to help you on your trip Jason.
I'm wondering about an 8 hour pass on a "huge liner" ?
You traveling on an....Air-liner ? Or Ocean-liner ?
Can't go very far in 8 hours on an Oceanliner, but airliners don't have chairs to fall out of. Only "seats"

It's killin me, where are ya and what are you doing ?

Larry, I feel your pain if this is true. But his crew chief ,Jim Dupuy, knows more about sportsman racing than most all crew chiefs put together. Anyone that knows him or his father Lynwood, knows that they are sportsman racing people. That is why NHRA got rid of Lynwood, because he was friends with too many racers and Dim Light was scared that he could take his job.
