Courtney Force Body Photos (1 Viewer)

A justification for this that invokes Girls Gone Wild... Wow.

Please go back and read the whole post again, this time real slow or maybe have some one help you with the comprehension of the words so that you are not pulling statements that are answering the puritanical posts of some and claiming it is being claimed as justification for the photos. The photos can stand on their own and don't need any justification as far as I am concerned,

As someone said before, if you don't like them, turn the page. And don't be so paranoid as to think that what one racer does is the cause of your problems.

And you won't see him come out publicly, either way. Buy whatever you want!

Why not? I mean, if he's as dead set against it as is being portrayed, then why wouldn't he come out publicly? Could it be that he understands the benefits that will be generated from it? Maybe, maybe not.

I'm not specifically calling you out, Mark. I know you're the one that said it, but that has also been said on other forums by other people. But anybody that's into drag racing at all knows the media freight train that is John Force Racing. That said, he's allowing it for a reason. And we all know what reason that is.

Exactly my point. There was NO reason to do this. It in no way promotes the sport, she doesn't need the exposure (no pun), and it takes no skill.

I would venture to say that "Millions" of more people around the world know who Courtney Force is now and what she does for a living! People that have never been to a Drag Race.

and with a quick google search of this lady they now also are aware of
traxxas, nhra, and a good chance castrol, aaa, brand source, mac tools,
etc., etc., are also being noticed

VERY small amount............

As for Papa Force being so against this, I don't know if I buy that. I haven't seen where he's publicly come out with that stance, but even if he did, I'd come sooner believing that he's doing it to create even more hype. That's simply what he does. Bottom line, if he was truly against it, and I mean truly, I don't see it happening, period.

I have to disagree!! Courtney is an adult and makes her own decisions so I doubt John could have stopped it if he wanted to.

Virgil, that is the problem with some people who start spouting off before they actually read and most importantly, COMPREHEND what they are reading. It is most likely he saw only one or two sentences and based his comments and judgments on that alone.

And you will remain totally clueless on this subject because your info comes from what you read on message boards. Mine doesn't!

John was, and still is, 100% opposed to this. However, the decision was taken out of his hands. He's not a happy camper.

I would imagine so. Most of us dads with daughters (myself included) would not be real happy about our daughter getting naked in front of a photographer and crew and being shown in a national magazine (even if the important areas were shielded from view of the general public). Hell I am not real happy that my 13 year old granddaughter now has boobs but thats another subject. Most of us dads (myself included) would also be totally hypocritical to not admit that we are more than happy to look at someone elses daughter sans her clothing. I would venture to guess that John Force would also fall in this category---although I have no facts to back that up (just my opinion). However the fact remains that this young lady is a grown woman, well over the age of 21, and able to make her own decisions (although I would greatly doubt it was not run by ALL the sponsors before the robe came off). One thing it definitely has accomplished regardless of which side of the fence you are on, is it has DEFINITELY generated a LOT of press. And as a famous drag racer once said there is no bad ink---just no ink.

This debate sure has put some life back into a couple of racing forums that's for sure.

Yeah, she's a grown woman, but at the end of the day, this isn't her gig. She works for JFR, so I have no doubt the man himself could stop this if he really wanted to.

Information? What information? This is just a mix of opinions based on what's being discussed here. I'm not saying I'm right. Just offering another viewpoint. So the fact that you're connected or have some sort of inside information justifies you calling people clueless? That's laughable. This isn't my first day, either. I've been in and around this sport for over 25 years in many different venues and have made some connections of my own, so from that aspect, I'm far from impressed.

Much of this discussion has centered around morals and John's ability or inability to determine whether or not Courtney did this shoot. All I'm saying is that it's my opinion that if the sports most iconic, active figure genuinely felt that this would negatively exploit one of his daughters and ultimately compromise the image of the empire he has spent a lifetime building, I would like to believe that he would stop it.

"They" won't like this because you make sense!

And you are a true believer!

Let's hope at least a few go to a NHRA Drag Race this year or at least watch it on TV for the first time. Anything that brings more people to the sport is a great thing. Thank you Courtney!!

Also, I doubt that John has as much pull in this as Laurie does.

ESPN Dudes Ogle Courtney Force's Body Issue Pics, Call Them ?Honor?

They are just basically making fun of Reiff and Dunn ... But Deadspin get gazillions of page views.

As for Papa John, he did the Body Issue a few years ago, he knows what it is all about and he definitely suffered no ill effects from it, so I also have a hard time believing he was set against Courtney doing it or is angry about it now. It is still his name on the building, race cars and the front of the pay checks, if he didn't want her to do it, she wouldn't have done it in my humble opinion.

Believe whatever you like, John's not a happy camper.

Doesn't seem to be too upset:

I was hoping you would bring this post over here. It is still by far the best post I have read on any of the racing forums, on this subject.

I'll cut and paste exactly what I posted on Comp Plus.. She's 25 years old, do you really think her Daddy made her do it? And forgive the Danica references, but they were applicable over there..

Were you all disappointed in John for doing it before? I still don't understand all the backlash from this, but then again, I don't have a daughter either.

She's got a great body, God Bless Her for having it and showing it off. And I don't think it's fair to compare Courtney to Danica's rise because of two things.

1) Courtney has a WAY better body and a better attitude.
2) Courtney has won several times and really has started making her own name before she ever took her clothes off for this.

Yes, she's John's daughter and got a little more of a headstart compared to everyone else. John isn't driving the car for her. Pretty girls are always going to get a little "more fair" treatment when it comes to anything in life, so I don't think you can base allegations on special treatment because she took some beautiful and very tastefully done pictures showcasing her body. It's not like she's in Hustler performing vile acts of perversion. And Danica didn't lose fans because of Go Daddy stuff, she lost fans because she lost and wrecked.. a lot.. and had a piss poor entitled attitude.

If I looked like that, and worked my butt off to stay looking that way, I would have pictures taken too because it doesn't stay that way forever. Probably way worse than hers are. It takes a lot of guts and confidence to do what she did. And if it offends you, don't look. Nobody is holding a gun to your head(nor should they have to..lol). And if you think less of her for it, I think that speaks volumes as to how small minded of a person you really are. She's not on TV in a bikini plugging domain names every week. She's a PR machine and a great ambassador of the sport doing more PR than any other two drivers combined before races.

And if you think this was purely a publicity stunt, do you really think she needs it? She's already more famous than her old man. I think she did it because she's proud of what she's accomplished and tired of people saying drivers aren't or don't need to be athletic.

I actually take a little pride in the fact that they only have Danica, when we've got proven history of women winning, let alone smokin' hot ones like Courtney.

This about covers it for me. I have known John and family before their was a family. 40+years. I really believe they don't need your approval and I believe they surely wish you no harm. Just my opinion, however I believe that the Force's love the sport of drag racing and do everything they can to keep it alive and viable in a positive light. Take a moment and think of all that JFR has put back into NHRA drag racing. He could have left a rich man many years ago. Just sayin!!!
