Force racing on hiatus? (4 Viewers)

[Polish Hammer]

I also heard this from a strong source as well earlier on and by the time I logged in this was already posted. Interested to see how this season unfolds if that team takes the year off, if/when DSR does you might as well pull the plug on a 2020 NHRA season.

As far as I know, this is just a rumor.

NHRA made a major mistake in cutting qualifying prize money. Without the big show they have nothing. The sportsman racing can't carry the whole load.

It's the 800-pound gorilla in the corner of the room which no media outlet wants to touch without confirmation. Will John Force Racing be at the back-to-back Indianapolis events or even at all this season?

Entry deadline for the E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Nationals is today around noon, California time.

There are a lot of questions about John Force Racing. But only JFR can answer those questions for the rest of the 2020 NHRA season.

Torrence has tweeted to indicate they would be there. No comp plus is reporting that Tasca has the coronavirus and Lindbergh is filling in.

Much as I had hoped some or all of John's team would be at Indy, just heard from a person connected to NHRA (not connected to JFR) that the Force teams will not be at Indy. Don't know the reason. I had hoped the rumors were wrong.

Salinas said he is sitting out most of the year. I heard that Torrence wasn't going to be at Indy either.

I heard the same thing about Torrence, but he's posting on social media that they are getting ready to race.

Still unconfirmed.

Still unconfirmed.

Comp Plus is saying they are done for the year.

Billy and Steve are now both on the entry list for Indy.

Just saw that, pretty decent car counts even without the Force team.

Never thought I'd see the day

" Reportedly, Chevrolet has backed off their deal with JFR and the team has decided to park for the year. This is not official, but at this point is widely understood. With today’s deadline for this week’s Indy event looming at the close of business Pacific time, there are currently no JFR cars entered. That means John and Robert Hight’s Funny Cars and Brittany’s Top Fuel dragster."

MIA at NHRA: What to Expect at Indy

NHRA is hemorrhaging star power. Corporate belt tightening and reduced purses at limited-spectator events is only part of the story.

I have no inside information but, there is a precedent for a former World Champion to be granted late entry, even up to the day of the event.

Again, I have no personal knowledge of this case, but John, Robert and Brittany are all former (or current) Champs.

Why for over 20 years I read entry lists the day of Q1

I cannot see the N.H.R.A. going far either after the first few races. Now with Denver not being able to hold a race.
If they can pull a rabbit out of the hat with this season they will be more than lucky because it's not just the drag strips that are closing it's also some teams that are just saying in so many different words that it is not worth risking your family life over.
