Thanks, Dan!... I think. Shouldn't have watched it this late at night 'cause I'm all jacked up now and won't be able to get to sleep.

BRAIN QUIT! BRAIN QUIT!

I always remember that interview!

Hard to fathom those 3 little girls have each driven 10,000hp monsters......

 

[vegasnitro]

A lot of people have grown weary of his shtick, but whenever he decides to leave, he will be missed. There will NEVER be another like John Force.

In a couple of those interviews I thought I was looking at Chris Demke.

"if you woke in the middle of the night in a nightmare and yelled Kenny, what would my wife think".........funnier than....

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

"THAT BABY DIPPED, - HOOKED THE NOSE, - AND WHAT A RIDE !!! "......classic John Force. John has been a wonderful ambassador for our sport.

 

[Horsepower & Heels]

Love him or hate him.... there just is no substitution. He's definitely been a character for the sport.

 

[Just Paul]

"Coil's gonna $%&# his pants when he sees this mess..." LOL


Sure makes you miss Steve Evans watching that. He was the best.

 

[PJ]

Ahhhh when he seemed genuine and real and not "reality TV real" I miss that version of Force

 

[Toejam]

Thats the JF that most fans miss, he was still hungry then. NHRA turning the sport into the JF show soured me on him.

Yeah, before he started referring to himself in the third person.

It's funny because the opposite happened for me. For so many years, I couldn't STAND him! Hated his popularity. Hated how he won all the time. Found him annoying. Did all I could to cheer for Etchells, Hofmann, Larson and Bazemore over the years.
Then in 2007 when Ashley started racing, I saw another side of him. His worry about her made him more human. Also, he wasn't winning as much. And especially after his Dallas accident. Here is a living legend in our sport, that we are lucky to watch every time he gets on the starting line now. Now I love the guy and cheer for him and his team (though I do prefer Ashley as my favorite Force racing daughter)., and I have so much respect for what he has done for our sport, and in sports in general.

 

[stitcherbob]

I never minded all of his wins because I was there for all of the crushing losses to Prudhomme and Beadle and Oswald and Bernstein and........

 

[stitcherbob]

and then this happened...

thanks Gary G
