John Force On Local Radio

[Rollout96]

I always enjoy seeing how the local hosts handle a drag racing interview. Force was great and they just let him go. He rambled and rambled and then said,"I don't remember your question". He was great and they enjoyed him. Once he left they through it to the traffic guy and he said, "I feel like I could run through a wall right now!"

Pretty funny.

Thanks for the heads up. I can't seem to get enough media about Force.

Sorry for the confusion. He was just on the local sports radio show I happened to be listening to. Just a short segment.

Yeah, I hear ya'. I certainly wish they would have other drivers on instead.

to quote Robert Hight in the interview I did with him... "He [John Force] is Mr. NHRA"

and that is the honest truth... if you ask ANYBODY who is not a diehard NHRA fan if they know who John Force is... they of course will, but if you ask them who Bob Tasca or Tim Wilkerson is... you will get a dumb look.

Heh, I thought most people would answer Don Garlits or Shirley Muldowney. But then again, I don't drink the John Force Kool Aid.

I think it depends on their age. I love talking up drag racing and seeing what people know (as non-fans). If they are old enough I'll hear Don and Shirley. What is cool is I find people remember Eddie Hill a lot too!!!!

John Force has done more and won more for NHRA than Garlits and Muldowney combined. I have been a huge Garlits fan since 1958 so dont think I just got off the boat. If your another Force hater thats your business but facts are facts.
I think I'll just not drink the "Kacvinsky" kool aid!

I am not a hater. I just like other teams more. What I don't like, and what my "drink the Force Kool Aid" was aimed at, is the incessant media attention that Force gets.

After Jonestown, I find 'drink the Kool-aid' remarks very offensive.

Good point. That said, I still don't like it.

My apologies. Perhaps a "subscribe to that theory" would have been a better choice.

and I bet that if the media was as "abundant" back in those days as it is now... Garlits and Muldowney would have got the same type of media attention.

That's probably true. And I wouldn't like that either. My admittedly flippant comments were not really about Force, it was about the excessive media attention he gets. Any of the other drivers could get just as much coverage and I'd dislike that, too.

Fans can be so cruel to the drivers. When they are an underdog you chair for them when they win there first championship everyone praises them when they win twice you praise them for winning twice when they win 3 times its like wow 3 times when they win 4 times its like what again, win 5 times its ok so what let someone else win.

Then you hit them when they down aswell if someone who has won alot suddenly does badly its like ok you have had your day move along has been.

Hit em when they're up, Hit em when they're down
