No matter whether you are a fan or not, Force is good for the sport. Went in the stands after the win. Pretty cool.

Yea Force was more cranked up than his norm and hell thats doing something.Austin Prock winning his first in TF same day. Can you say party time tonight?

I thought it was great to say Thanks to Austin Coil and Berny Fedderly.

Yep, Force is goofy but one heck of promoter. Class act thanking everybody all the way back when he started.

He sure let the F-bomb fly when he got out of the car! LOL

Would of really sucked if he got hurt jumping the fence and landing on is ass. Pretty cool nonetheless and happy for him to finally get it done

He definitely isn't going to be doing the hurdles at the Olympics ...... but, it was good entertainment!....lol! How old is he? ...... he's got energy.

Is Force important? Let's put it this way. If he, Schumacher and Kalitta were suddenly not racing, there would be no top fuel or funny car. Those teams are more/less keeping everybody going in the class.

He's 70

Besides being a hell of a racer, he’s a promotor and a business man. Pretty impressive. Shallow staged too! I bet he’s sore this morning. Fans got their money’s worth.

LARRY, thanks for saving me those couple hours Monday morning that I had set aside to watch the race I taped...well at least you got to watch live..

It's a social media site based on drag racing. Sure it's going to be on there.

I was never much of a Force fan for many years. I root for the underdog often, and he has seldom been. Plus, the multiple cars thing didn't seem right to me for a long time. But as years went by, and I learned more about Force the person, I appreciated him more. And it was mentioned above, if there were no Force, no Don Schumacer, no Don Purdome and no Kaletta, there would be little if any competitive Fuel racing. You can go down the list of owners and important drivers, and if you took 10 of them away, fuel would evaporate so to speak.

Force and Kalitta will take money out of their own pocket is the difference between them and dsr!

Force pocket would take little while to run dry,but Kalitta's is different story. Friend of mine use to build their engines(Doug Dragoo No shyt that was his name) told me he could not bankrupt that team if he tried.Now this was when Scott was alive.

Like fuel or not it keeps sport alive fan wise.Yes those three keep fuel alive.
Force is one huge fan draw and funny as hell guy at times.

To put it in perspective. Connie Kalita net worth is north of $200,000,000. Don Schumacher net worth is north of $300,000,000. Forest Lucas net worth is north of $500,000,000. John Force net worth is $12,000,000.

Well that’s interesting... I’d say Force gets more bang for the buck eh?? The old fashioned way!

Source for the numbers? All seem very low.

I was a force fan for years, then came his obvious dive to let hight advance. That was the day the love died. Cheater ever after that stunt was my opinion of the guy. Other multi car teams race heads up, not his.
