Nope. The one at the 05 Finals was the last generation Mustang body.

Looks like it has plenty of sponsor's graphics to me. the only difference is that the main color is natural "carbon fibre black" instead of white.

EDIT: And his school bus still looks pretty good!

Thanks Scoop!!!

And it had a transparent green paint over the carbon.

Somehow I tend to think his DNQ is about more than just a gallon of paint on the body, but what the hell do I know?

I want to see that bus travel down the 1/4 mile!

Any how it is the same theory he had back then when he was shooting for max points to win the championship

IMO it is a team that is getting desperate to win.

 

[Bmoy]

Maybe it's just an experiment

Why would he be desperate? He's already won once and is well into the top ten.

i think it looks kinda cool......real stealth like....i am not a big fan of the heavy green and white trim....i think Ashleys car looks way better......and so does she

 

[T.Smith]

Maybe with a couple more 1st round loses and DNQ's, they could try racing without a body at all.

I'd imagine getting flogged by a team with 1/4 of their total budget is getting old.

Good point Tony...I love seeing their big budgeted team taken down by a lower-budgeted/single car team.
Sad to see the JFR pit area w/ fans waiting for autographs and neither Force drivers NEVER came out but the #1 qualifier on Fri (Densham) was taking pictures/talking w/ everyone who came by...as well as Troxel.

I have probably been to 50 National Events in the last 10 years ... and I have NEVER NOT seen Force at the ropes several times a weekend. If you just stand there 5 minutes, you might miss him, or if it is a while after qualifying is over you might miss him ... but with minimal effort, Force's autograph is easily gotten at a National Event. He was signing in Vegas last fall while in a walker still trying to heal up from the crash in Dallas!!!


As far as the paint job goes ... he has been down this road before ... don't see what the big deal is.

Since his win in Topeka, he wasn't won a round in the last 5 races. He was in 3rd following Topeka and now he is only 146 points from being in 11th. If he fails to go a round at the next 4 races he will most likely find himself out of the top 10 after Indy. He is also out of the Top 8 in the U.S. Smokeless Showdown and that is the biggest payday of the year.

I don't know why everyone can't see that John Force is bad for Drag Racing.

This unpainted body has to be the last straw....

You think he or any other racer is happy with just one race win?

Gimme a break!
