The title of the post just draws you in. That's John Force for you. The wife and I went to see the grandkids in Orange not far from John Force's place. I thought there would be little chance of meeting him, but I felt the trip just to see his place would be cool.
Just think, after driving for 2 days, we arrived at a moment when John Force was there! I was looking out the window of the souvenir shop when I spotted John coming out of the shop in the back of the show room.
I was speechless, but I managed to get outside in time to catch him as he was leaving. For those of you who doubt all the good things you hear about John Force, I'm here to tell you, the truth is, he is even nicer than that.
He graciously stopped his truck, got out, shook my hand as I asked for a photo of us together. A gentleman who was with him from A&E networks took two photos. Then my wife came out running and John got out again and spoke with my wife while I took a few photos.
I'm sure Mr. Force had better things to do than deal with two fans out of the blue. He seemed in no hurry to rush off as we spoke. I'm a bigger Force fan than ever now!
Two day later we were fortunate enough to attend his monthly car show at his showroom. Now most of you don't know me and I'm not the photographer that others who post here are. Non-the-less, I have a link to the photos.
Man! California was tough to leave....... See:
