How many of his have been able to be reused without the integrity being compromised?
They do seem pretty much junk when they get like this:View attachment 16586

This picture reminds me of a time, several years ago at Pomona, when a funny car body was in bad shape much like this one and was left outside of the trailer overnight. People thought it was there for the taking for souvenirs, and started stripping wings, struts and everything else including structure out of it. Later, the owner of the body came back and was pretty upset because he was planning on reusing most of the items that were taken for the next body as they were still good on it. I believe it was the Rock Star Energy Drink sponsored car.

Jerry Toliver’s body and I believe the culprit was from WJ’s crew

I didn't want you to mentioned any names. Jerry's bigger than I am.

Alan, we need you back. The knowledge is just as memorable as the voice. It’s the 75th year celebration deal after all.

Alexis didn’t run for Del in 2025. She took her funding over to JCM for one season with Mike Neff tuning. At least from the rumor mill, she will be taking her funding to Force and with Neff tuning. I’m sure Force has one or more cars sitting around ready to run. Worsham had Bode, Nataas, and himself driving his car in 2026. I would assume we will se him more in IHRA in 2026 with the occasional NHRA appearance.

Alexis was already running a Force built car in 2025.

As far as the third funny car goes, I think Sean Bellemeur would be a great choice for driver if he’s interested

Anyone give Mike Minick a call ?

Yea asking about my vehicle's extended warranty.

 

[Quesadilla]

Would be nice if Force signed a younger driver like Bode, Vandergriff or maybe someone from the Alcohol or Sportsman ranks

It is all about who can bring the money or family members.

Everyone is talking about who they would like to drive the car. The question is: "Who can sell the most tools?"
Cornwell stayed with JFR, they will have the last word on who drives the car.
If you are not bringing the money, you need to appeal to the sponsor.
Jack Beckman can drive the car, but they hired him because he is a car guy, he can go to various events and promote PEAK. That's the important part.

Speaking of the warranty, when was the last time you had it out?

Agreed the driver has to be able to handle the car well (experienced), handle the spectators (friendly/photogenic) but most importantly perform for the sponsor by being well spoken and selling product.
